Hello everybody!
Hello
------------------------------------- Consider cases: (1) I don't want to publish package A, because I doubt anyone will find it useful. But I develop independent packages B and C, that will be usefull for the community, and want to publish them on Hackage, but they require package A!
[Solution] Publish package A, but make it maximum general and complete in itself.
(2) I don't want to publish package A, because it's tiny. Well imagine something same popular and useful, like Ord class. 10 lines of code. But I don't want to repeat these lines in every other package.
[Solution] Same as for (1) I guess.
Find other package and send a patch (like category-extras) if it applies?
[Solution B] Do my own version control and add same pieces to every package that use Nameable. Don't like this solution. May be I should start using other repository systems like github or darcs, and then this solution will seem more natural to me?..
[Solution C] Create package. Don't publish it but install locally. I'm not proposing the Solution C as I'm not host of hackage. But it is also possible. Regards
