Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: Hackage survey

Do you value libraries/tools that are shipped through Hackage? * Yes, I always use only libraries/tools available on Hackage * Yes, but if a package is not available on Hackage, I will still use it I'm torn between the first two. I picked the first. If it's not available on Hackage, I will usually package it up and put it on Hackage. (E.g. the Frisby library hasn't been on Hackage for some reason so I uploaded it http://hackage.haskell.org/package/frisby) Anyway, I took the survey. Nice idea. How much response have you had so far? On 20 July 2010 13:08, Sylvain Le Gall wrote:

I'd like to request some clarification of some of the questions:

You might want to add a "don't know" or similar option, so that people don't have to fill in questions arbitrarily in the case they feel none of the answers match.

You can just skip the question. No question are mandatory.

3. I use cabal-install only in testing my own packages (as it's easier    to do "cabal foo" than "runhaskell Setup.hs foo").

I generally try to use distribution packages first, and (manually) download from hackage in case my distribution doesn't supply what I need.  I'm not quite sure what to answer here.

I think the answer: "I use cabal-install when my Linux/Mac/Windows distribution doesn't provide the package" should be ok.

Thank you for answering the survey.
