I would like to include a few source files as 'executable' sections in a .cabal package description. However, although I do want to use main=mainDefault features, I do not want those packages to be installed when I run 'Setup.hs install'.
Is it possible to do that? I believe there's no flag that indicates install step, since (I guess) flags are checked only at configure time.
I know this isn't what you asked, since you did explicitly mention Cabal, but Franchise (http://groups.google.com/group/franchise-haskell) has a function "privateExecutable" which is used for that very purpose. I don't know anything about .cabal packages, but maybe this will suit your needs? steve
