Hi
Rationale: We need a CPAN
We choose to spell CPAN as "Hackage"
, a cabal that is smart enough to know what to to, even if building depends on make
Why should building depend on make? Shouldn't cabal build stuff for us? We need a cabal that is clever enough that we don't need a make.
, grapefruit authors that commit to hackage
Or someone to help show the grapefruit authors the light. I helped put smallcheck on hackage, others have done other packages. Perhaps you could do grapefruit?
, a cabal-inst that can install from darcs (or at least from a local directory)
Yes, that would be lovely!
, or maybe just a make-replacement for haskell, like java has with ant (which is really cool if you successfully do not notice the xml-syntax).
We have replaced a lot of make with just --make in GHC. Cabal replaces more. What more bits of make do you need? If you can say why make is still necessary, people may be able to eliminate it. Thanks Neil
