Using the commands: cabal update cabal list | fgrep " * " | wc I counted 927 entries.
Unfortunately that's not a reliable means of determining cabal packages. (Baffling, I know.) I think it actually lists things you have installed from other sources, too. For instance: $ cabal list | grep cairo * cairo Homepage: http://haskell.org/gtk2hs/archives/2006/01/26/cairo-eye-candy/ $ cabal install cairo cabal: There is no package named cairo Last time this came up there was mention of adding an option to only list things which cabal has control over. I don't know if anything has come of that idea. Cheers, D -- Dougal Stanton dougal@dougalstanton.net // http://www.dougalstanton.net
