Re: [Haskell-cafe] Cabal sandboxes over cabal-dev

I don't think so (barring bugs). On Wed, Oct 30, 2013 at 11:12 AM, Tikhon Jelvis wrote:

Are there any potential disadvantages?

I'm probably going to switch over regardless, but it would be nice to know. I recently saw a demo of it, and it seemed like a great addition to cabal. On Oct 30, 2013 2:06 AM, "Johan Tibell" wrote:

Cabal sandboxes were developed after cabal-dev and was generally an effort to bring sandboxes to the masses by integrating them into cabal proper. There are a couple of benefits to this integration:

* New features are designed with sandboxes in mind. * We can generally get a smoother integration with rest of Cabal. * We support add-source deps as links rather than copies (see the docs).

Can someone point me in the direction of why you would use one over the other ??

Thanks Graham
