Hey guys, let's use the mailing list :) Paolo, have you pushed this? Or sent it to cabal-devel? Great work. So what Paolo is saying is that the simple versin of cabal-get is ready, we just have to get the new very-simple version of cabal-put working and installed on hackage. There are pleanty of tweaks to do, though they may not be reflected in the ticket system. Alson, if you want to hack, please grab the latest cabal sources and see what we've done. Look at lately-modified tickets on the wiki to get some context. peace, isaac Paolo Martini writes:

$ hello-haskell-world Hello, Haskell World!

...it was an easy fix the one of the extensions, Isaac!

I am getting the `put' program now.
