Hello,

Before I found a really cool paper on Cabal motivation and architecture. I can no longer find this paper. Any ideas/suggestions?

Is this what you are looking for?

The Haskell Cabal: A Common Architecture for Building Applications and Tools by Isaac Jones, Simon Peyton Jones, Simon Marlow, Malcolm Wallace, and Ross Patterson http://www.haskell.org/cabal/proposal/

Sorry, I forgot that you had specified a .pdf paper in the title.

There's a pdf of the same: http://www.haskell.org/cabal/proposal/pkg-spec.pdf

Then perhaps the following paper is what you are really looking for:

Haskell: Batteries Included by Duncan Coutts, Isaac Potoczny-Jones, and Don Stewart http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/papers/haskell31-coutts.pdf

And that paper refers to the earlier one by Isaac: http://www.cs.ioc.ee/tfp-icfp-gpce05/tfp-proc/24num.pdf I've linked these from the page on old Cabal stuff: http://www.haskell.org/cabal/old.html Duncan
