Hello, I've published a number of repositories so that people can try cabal- install more easily, I need to know wether it's working for you too, and what are the important things to do to towards the goal of shipping it with ghc-6.6. My Cabal repository: http://hackage.haskell.org/~paolo/darcs/Cabal/ Patches (applied in the above repository): <http://hackage.haskell.org/~paolo/tmp/cabal-install-tarball- index.patch> <http://hackage.haskell.org/~paolo/tmp/cabal-install- dependencies.patch> Packages repository: http://hackage.haskell.org/~paolo/darcs/packages/ Some of the notable programs in the packages repository, if you are thinking about testing it out: * hnop (!) * lambdabot (!) * darcs-graph * hmp3 * hask-home * many of the dependencies of Hope (http://hope.bringert.net/), but no HaskellDB, any version available? * ...etc, darcs send me packages if you please. Issues & ideas: * some packages miss the brief synopsis * no multiple repositories are allowed (I am thinking about how to solving it, ideas are welcome) * should it work on windows for ghc-6.6? * the dependency resolution code seem to work, but it should be probably "audited" better * you ideas? Peace, Paolo. --
