I've just written a few packages which I think may be useful, and have
made them available as free opensource on a personal website
http://functionalley.eu.
I opted to host them there rather than  uploading them to Hackage,
because they're part of a wider project.
The main offerings are; a regex-engine which is polymorphic in terms of
the type of the input-data, a traditional character-based regex-engine
derived from it, and an application to determine the most efficient
order in which to pack files into a given storage-space.

I understand this isn't the ideal venue in which announce new packages,
but having looked briefly at the hask...@haskell.org mail-group and
the cerebral offerings there, I'm rather concerned that my meagre
offerings may resemble germs in a Dettol factory. Is there a more
appropriate forum ?

If anyone has the time, I'd also greatly appreciate any feedback on this
s/w.

Regards,
Alistair Ward

P.S. This is my first posting.

Wonderful, thank you!

Note that this means they won't be cabal installable or searchable. Was
that your intention?

I am curious about this: wasn't cabal designed with the
option of having several package repos in mind?

   please clarify/document --remote-repo

It supports remote Hackage repositories -- not arbitrary URLs (though
that is planned). Search won't work though.
