Hi, I've discussed the patch with Duncan Coutts. The result is the attached revised patch. Changes: - fix the handling of 'x-' fields - with the previous patch cabal would complain about these as unknown in most contexts - document liftField and maybeField and make their use for converting stanzas more obvious in PackageDescription.hs The second patch is unchanged. A note on installing packages hidden: This should be useful for programs that provide their own plugins or other libraries for internal use. It seems to be simple enough for inclusion in Distribution.Simple. regards, Bertram
