cabal-dev is a wrapper around cabal. It creates the directory "cabal-dev" in your current directory when you run commands.
Yes, I know. But when I typed "cabal-devel install" on a package directory, nothing happened.
Can you give a specific example? Surely *something* happened :)
I read its source but I could not found the code where cabal-dev passes GHC_PACKAGE_PATH to ghc. I don't know how cabal-dev can implement the sandbox featrue.
running cabal-dev with --verbose=3 will show you all the cabal and ghc-pkg commands, which is probably the best way to see what's going on. Cabal-dev uses a custom cabal.config file that's (by default) located in the sandbox directory. That file specifies a package-db to use (amongst a few other things), and cabal-install is invoked with that config. --Rogan
