Yes please! Please contribute the feature. Grab the hackage code from: http://darcs.haskell.org/hackage-scripts/ Send patches to the cabal-devel mailing list. Everyone is most welcome to subscribe too. Another thing I'd like to see coming out of this discussion is some feature requests filed in the hackage trac with a summary of some of our conclusions: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ Duncan
