Except that the generated register/unregister scripts now also point to my-temp-db, and there seems to be no way to prevent this. I solved it for now by using sed, but I'd love to leave sed out, if at all possible.
Stealing from the scripts of Haskell Platform (source tarball): Don't use register --gen-script, use this instead: runhaskell Setup register --gen-pkg-config=NAME (You choose a suitable filename for NAME. If you omit =NAME, the default filename is "packagename-version.conf". Do play and customize.) Registration script is just: ghc-pkg update NAME or ghc-pkg register NAME (add options and full pathname of ghc-pkg as you see fit) Also don't bother with unregister --gen-script, the unregister script is just: ghc-pkg unregister packagename-version (add options and full pathname of ghc-pkg as you see fit) Haskell Platform build scripts are in exactly the same shoe as yours, i.e., dilemma between interdependent packages and containment. (It wants to register absolutely nothing if some packages fail to build.) You may like to look into it for inspirations. Except for how to unregister and uninstall. Who wants to get rid of Haskell Platform, haha!
