Indeed, cabal-install 0.14.0 has been *excellent* for me so far.  Thanks Andres!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 17, 2012 at 10:05 AM, Chris Dornan <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:chris@chrisdornan.com" target="_blank">chris@chrisdornan.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>


<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I have been playing around with the latest cabal-install (0.14.0) and it is<br>
working really nicely. Having unpacked a cabal bundle you can now type<br>
&#39;cabal install&#39; inside the root and it will work everything out as if you<br>
had asked to install directly from the repo -- very nice.<br>
<br>
I have also noticed that GHC is suggesting alternatives when it encounters<br>
missing identifiers. This gives a strong sense of helpfulness that I think<br>
accurately reflects the long and sustained (decades-long) effort that has<br>
gone into making the GHC diagnostics as useful as possible.<br>
<br>
The tools are so good because the developers have been paying attention to<br>
the gripes.<br>
<br>
But we should sometimes say thank you too... it is much appreciated.<br>
