#578: Allow installation of distro packages ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: bos | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ It would be very nice indeed if {{{cabal-install}}} could be taught how to install a distro's version of a package. This could amount to simply asking a shell script if the package is available and can be installed, before proceeding with the usual Cabal installation machinery. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/578 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
