This is a bug in the Cabal package.conf.in, which lists it as hidden rather than exposed. I expect we'll fix this for 6.6.1.
Is there some automated test suite for the libraries that I'm just missing? Is there a plan for developing one? If not, I'll start a wiki page for ideas and try to get a rudimentary one put together.
A number of libraries are tested in the 'testsuite' that comes with ghc. The plan is to move these back into the relevant library repositories though.
Ian, what's the plan on this?
SimonM seems to have just been doing this a directory at a time, putting the tests in libraries/foo/tests by the looks of it. I don't think there are any major difficulties with finishing it, it just needs someone to spend some time doing it. Thanks Ian
