My question: how important is cabalization for a package that wants to be part of the platform?
I think it's important. It means that: * It can be built and installed in a regular way when creating the binary platform installers, without needing special case code * It can be built and installed in a regular way in Linux distros etc, so it does not place an extra burden on distro maintainers trying to support the platform * The platform can be installed with just cabal-install (although you will also need to install the C libraries etc) * People who want to test newer versions that are intended to come with a future platform release can easily do so Thanks Ian
