Re: Cabal and installing packages.

But of course writing a generic Haskell installer (for Hackage/Cabal) may well turn out to be simpler - and would be more useful to more people, and has the advantage that only one set of installation instructions are required as well. If I were to write it I would do it as a pure Haskell thing, then it doesn't need to be ported to each different distribution. Of course people are free to write distro versions as well. I don't think there need only be one way of doing things... Regards, Keean Gabriel Ebner wrote:

g-cpan.pl just generates multiple ebuilds. g-cabal/cabal

emerge/... could do the same.
