Package name+version determines the URL of the tarball stored in HackageDB, e.g. http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/OpenGL/OpenGL-2.1.tar.gz

Can one safely assume that http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/PACK/PACK-VER.tar.gz untars into a PACK-VER directory containing that package? I hope that this is the case. So our package description file can look like this: core base 2.1 core haskell98 1.0 extra http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/darcs/polyparse ftp://ftp.cs.york.ac.uk/pub/haskell/polyparse/polyparse-1.0.tar.gz extra OpenGL 2.1 ... Earlier you've mentioned some sharing of libraries. Could you elaborate a bit how this should work in detail? I only have a very vague idea, and I am not sure if this is a must or only a nice-to-have. Cheers, S.
