Comment (by barracuda156):

 Replying to [comment:2 kencu]:
 > So somebody might someday take on the project of leveraging my ghc-for-
 older-systems repository to allow stack and ghc to work again on
 SnowLeopard, or perhaps some other method of making it work that doesn't
 involve my ghc for SnowLeopard builds might be found.
 > But for now, and probably forever, ghc / stack / cabal do not work on
 SnowLeopard on MacPorts.
 > They can work manually when installed from my repos, with "some assembly
 required", if you really want pandoc, or some similar ghc-only port, on
 SnowLeopard.

 If you could find your patches to source code, I will try making it work
 in Macports on SL Intel (because I need that fixed for Intel to begin
 with, in order to fix PPC).
