IMO we shouldn't allow both a library and an exe in the same package. I think I argued against this originally, and my understanding is that doing this is deprecated, although perhaps not visibly enough. Whenever the question of what to do about lib+exe packages arises, the discussion tends to spiral out of control into what we should do about collections of packages in general.
For now, the simple story is that each package should have either a single library or a single executable (even multiple executables in a package is questionable; if they share some code it shoud be in a package).
So, you are saying that I should split my library and its test app(s) into separate packages? That would also mean that I have to install the library before compiling and running the tests, right? Hmmm, if that's the case then I have to say that cabal won't suit me very well. Are there any options to cabal? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus@therning.org Jabber: magnus.therning@gmail.com http://therning.org/magnus
