Beta testers wanted! Lemmih (mostly) has been working on a tool which will download and install Haskell packages and their dependencies. This tool should work for any cabal-compatible package. We're looking for beta testers to try out "cabal-get" (for downloading and installing) and "cabal-put" (for uploading to the central repository). We're also looking for more developers to work on this. The home, for now is here: http://hackage.haskell.org/ModHackage/Hackage.hs?action=home and to get cabal-get, grab the bootstrapper: darcs get http://hackage.haskell.org/darcs/cabal-get-bootstrap And execute the Install.lhs file. You may have to modify it slightly if you don't like the defaults. After you install cabal-get, you should be able to install cabal-put by saying: cabal-get update && cabal-get install cabal-put Darcs repositories for all the tools are here: http://hackage.haskell.org/darcs/ Questions or problems? Email me or Lemmih. peace, isaac
