What is the purpose of the "Other-Modules" section in a cabal file? (I.e., can we drop it?)
Non-exported modules.
If it's just the set of dependencies of the "Exported-Modules", then a reasonable build system should be able to figure this out on its own.
Explicit is better than implicit; this lets you have hidden modules that don't get shipped, auto-generated modules, etc.
The current situation is that I have to manage this list manually (or is there some tool?) and if I forget to name some "other-module", then "cabal install" happily builds and installs (!) the package anyway, but I'm getting linker errors when using it.
Interesting; it normally complains when this occurs (for me at least); care to share the .cabal file to see which files it didn't complain about? -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
