Well, you have a point but still don't have one. Many of gentoo's haskell .ebuilds are seriously outdated, eg. wxhaskell still depends on ghc 6.4. See "Damnit, we need a CPAN"
The haskell overlay features about 240 packages from alex to yi, hackage currently lists 596 packages.
You may be interested to know I just tried to install 564 packages from hackage using cabal-install (others excluded due to missing or inconsistent dependencies). Of those, 156 failed to install (direct failure or because they depended on another package that failed). I now have 157 programs installed in ~/.cabal/bin and ghc-pkg take two and a half seconds to tell me that I have 454 libraries installed (some were installed previously via portage). Duncan
