When bootstrapping a new version of cabal, using make setup is the simplest thing. That creates a ./setup program which you can use to run the normal cabal commands like ./setup configure; ./setup build; ./setup install What I normally do when hacking on Cabal is to: ./setup register --user --inplace Installing any packages with --user option leads to error messages about missing /home/user/.ghc/i386-linux-6.4.2/package.conf That registers the development version of Cabal inplace, in the actual build tree, so that means from then on, using the Cabal package means using whatever you've currently got compiled in your local build tree. Then using ./setup build updates the already registered Cabal-1.1.7 without having to reinstall or re-register. That's handy if one is testing building other packages with the development version of Cabal interleaved with making changes to Cabal. So bear in mind that if you ./setup clean for example then you'll not be breaking your registered Cabal-1.1.7 and you'' be unable to compile anything against -package Cabal-1.1.7 until you ./setup build again. That's not such a problem however since you can always specify using an older version when building other things like -package Cabal-1.1.6. As for trying to install the latest cabal-install with the latest cabal (registered globally), I get this error: Setup.lhs: cabal-install.cabal:12: Unknown field 'build-type' The Build-type field is present in the checked-out tree, so presumably I'm still using the old Cabal somehow. I can hang out at #haskell today. ping? Anyone on #haskell now? ___ cabal-devel mailing list cabal-devel@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cabal-devel

Yes, a solid 384 people, including myself. (irc.freenode.net) To be more specific, what leads people like you and Andrew Coppin to think the channel is dead? I've never seen evidence of that from inside, and we might need to fix what you're seeing...
