I have uploaded three packages to Hackage that shall simplify maintaining cabal packages under darcs revision control. They simplify tasks like uploading packages after some tests, cabal version handling, compiling multiple local packages in the right order, replacing identifiers in multiple files, renaming modules.

Hi Henning, Would you mind giving me a breif explanation of the "compiling multiple local packages in the right order" feature? I'd like to understand what is missing in cabal-install in this respect. Currently with cabal-install you can say: cabal install ./a ./b ./c and it will install the packages in those directories in the right order. (It is also possible to list other install targets including local and remote tarballs, and of course packages from hackage). Duncan
