Hello Cristiano, ... there was a large thread a few months ago and many peoples voted for excluding any OS-specific packages at all since this decreases portability of code developed by Hoogle users :)))

Nice shot :D So how do I fork a new system process <portably>? Thank you folks. Cristiano

Hi Don, thank you for the reference. I saw System.Process but when I needed it I was in a hurry and having a UNIX background I googled for some snippet daemonizing a process which led me to the System.Process.Posix package. Yet, I was surprised not to find it in Hoogle as I thought it to be a comprehensive search engine. But I was wrong :D Thanks. Cristiano

Hi

Is it me or the above package is not included in Hoogle?

afair, Neil, being windows user, includes only packages available for his own system

Urm, I realize that was half in jest, but no.  It just makes Hoogle less useful.  If I need to fork, I need to fork, and no amount of sugarcoating is going to get around that.

I was implementing full package support last weekend. With any luck, I'll manage to push the changes tonight. If not, I'll push them as soon as I get back from holiday (a week or so) Thanks Neil
