Re: Cabal bugs

Hmm, although you may not know, there is a way to find out. :-) On nhc98 at least, a simple directory listing of include/packages/*.cabal will tell you what is installed. I agree that this is not the friendliest interface in the world, so I have now made it easier, by adding the 'nhc98-pkg list' command (in darcs). For instance: $ nhc98-pkg list array-0.1 base-3.0 bytestring-0.9 Cabal-1.3.6 containers-0.1 directory-1.0 filepath-1.1 fps-0.8 haskell-src-1.0.1.1 haskell98-1.0.1 HaXml-1.19.2 html-1.0.1.1 HUnit-1.2.0.0 old-locale-1.0 old-time-1.0 packedstring-0.1 parsec-2.1.0.0 polyparse-1.1 pretty-1.0 process-1.0 QuickCheck-1.1.0.0 random-1.0 xhtml-3000.0.2.1 Regards, Malcolm
