Re: [Haskell-beginners] Adding to a package

I'll give another recommendation for virthualenv, I've taken to using it for just about everything I do because it keeps my repo clean. It's slightly inefficient in that you can end up with many copies of common libraries, not to mention a full ghc install for every project, but HD space is cheap, and it saves you time trying to resolve library conflicts down the line.

If you want to test something, there are several packages for doing that. cabal-dev and virthualenv both set up repositories in your current directory, allowing you to cabal install packages willy nilly without affecting your global package database. I personally prefer virthualenv (not the spelling), but both are very good programs.

I just submitted a patch to Wai, but I didn't like the process I went through while testing it on my machine.

I cloned the repo, modified it and ran

runghc Setup configure --prefix=$HOME --user runghc Setup install

That registered as something like wai-2.1.1.1. ( I don't know what it exactly looked like, but it appended a ".1" to the previous version.) When I ran my test code, it used the latest version. Fine.

But, is this the way everyone does that? I mean, adding a new version? I can't think of any other way, but I'm just against registering the package into the GHC registry. How does everyone do that?
