I wonder if you have any suggestions for UI changes/improvements for cabal-install for working with related sets of local packages (something it's fairly weak on at the moment). Are there things in cabal-sort you think we should just lift directly into cabal-install or variations etc?
Sure, you can add a command 'sort' that outputs the given packages in topologically sorted order. :-)
I missed something: The reason for the current upload was a new cabal-sort feature that emits the package dependencies as a Makefile in order to allow building packages in parallel using 'make -j'. Of course, a '--jobs' option would also be a nice addition to 'cabal install'.
