Hi Duncan, I'm trying to finalize the list of things to include in Cabal/cabal-install 1.18, which I hope to push out by the end of this year. What's the current status of the cabal repl work? Is it close enough to being finished for someone else to pick up and take the rest of the way? In my naive understanding of the problem, now when we have refactored the way we create GHC command line invocations and gotten the ghci changes into GHC, it should be as simple manner of creating the needed command line (similar to cabal build but with e.g. an --interactive in there) and invoke ghci. This is probably a bit naive so perhaps you could clarify what's needed? -- Johan

I'm also interested in getting this into the 1.18 release, since "cabal-dev ghci" the only cabal-dev feature that cabal-install doesn't support yet. I can volunteer to do the work once I'm done with final UI changes for sandboxes. -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

I'm reasonably happy with working on this part myself. It's the main cabal hacking I'm doing right now. At a guess I'd say another few weeks.

The bit I'm working on right now is actually the command line handling. I'm trying to make it easy to use, only requiring disambiguation between targets when really needed. I've just about finished writing a little matching monad. The internals I think are if anything easier. We've now got the graph of components, and we've got the more structured command line handling.

Great news! So I guess we can put out a release candidate once "cabal repl" is in the mainline and integrated with the sandbox system. Or is there something else that also needs to be included in the next release? -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
