However, we have tools for some distros that do this, and some distro tools support it directly (e.g. "bauerbill --hackage" on Arch Linux knows how to ask cabal2arch to translate the .cabal file). Contribut to yum to allow pulling from hackage, by calling cabal2yum? -- Don _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
