Thanks for tha, Bárður! It's a bit of a pity that I would have to duplicate many libraries aready installed via arch-haskell / pacman with cabal natively (and I agree, needs to be fully-isolated - I'll look into hsenv, thanks!). I'm curious - I thought the goal of arch-haskell was to ultimately contain all hackage packages. Snap is in hackage - what makes it difficult to get into arch-haskell? I am not trying to complain - just trying to establish the situation. I am very new to the haskell world, but passionate about it beyond belief. I am happy to help where I can. kind regards, Dawid Loubser Op Di, 2013-10-08 om 19:43 +0200 skryf Bardur Arantsson:

Hi all,
I noticed that neither the snap, nor the yesod web frameworks are in the arch-haskell repo - is there a specific reason for this?
What would you recommend is the best way to install and use snap? (since it has been made clear that cabal is not a package manager, yet snap recommends installing it via cabal... :-S )
Well, it's not *really* a package manager, but it seems to be growing in that direction... :)
Anyway, any users of Snap are probably going to be developers, and I think it's pretty par for the course for developers to install libraries they're using from Hackage.
I would recommend using "hsenv" for keeping per-project Cabal environments. (The new Cabal will have support for similar isolation, but I don't think it's really been released yet.)
Regards,
Bárður
