Oh, don't get me wrong, some parts are already perfect.  The kind of things I was thinking of was

• modify cabal2arch to accept the location of the local copy of the ABS tree so that the new PKGBUILD is created in the correct place • modify cabal2arch to be aware of the layout of the ABS tree (especially I expect that we would want some way of separating binary and source packages) • modify cabal2arch in the directions that Don has already pointed out, i.e. to remove the static, compiled-in lists (e.g. naming of C packages for dependencies), instead those lists should be kept outside the binary (maybe even make it possible to get them from a URL)

I am strongly bothered by the fact that the PkgBuild "Show" function is implemented in cabal2arch and not in the archlinux module, is there anybody against merging them together ?

I was actually more bothered about the number of executables that are contained in archlinux; my initial thought was to break them out and put them in cabal2arch, thereby making archlinux a pure library package. ;-) /M -- Magnus Therning                        (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org          Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus         identi.ca|twitter: magthe
