"cabal install foo" seems a nice (in fact, indispensible) idea, but I don't see how to do the following with *one* command, for package "foo" and all its dependencies: * download and build as user, but install as root

cabal install foo --global --root-cmd=sudo That feature has not been heavily tested so let us know if you find any problems.

* also build and install haddockumentation for each of the packages

The current development version supports: cabal install foo --enable-documentation If you want any of these options on by default then you can (or will be able to) set them in the ~/.cabal/config file. Duncan
