Hi, This is a newbie question. I found some modules on the internet that I would like to try (eg the Tim Docker's chart library [1], etc). Most of the code I see is in darcs repositories, I figured out how to get them, but I don't know how to install it _cleanly_. Cleanly means that it ends up in the "right" directory. How do people usually do that? I am using ghc6 on debian testing. Am I supposed to use the thing called "cabal"? Is it perhaps possible to create a debian package from sources that were packaged with this tool? Thank you, Tamas [1] http://dockerz.net/software/chart.html

Follow the usual cabal routine (everything is in the ghc6 package): cd chart runghc Setup.hs configure runghc Setup.hs build runghc Setup.hs install

Yes and the stuff I quoted above is taken verbatim from the 'chart' page.
Is it perhaps possible to create a debian package from sources that were packaged with this tool?
It si certainly possible but, AFAIK, nobody did it yet. The Debian-Haskell mailing list is probably the good place to ask: http://urchin.earth.li/mailman/listinfo/debian-haskell
