Hello,

I've published a number of repositories so that people can try cabal- install more easily, I need to know wether it's working for you too, and what are the important things to do to towards the goal of shipping it with ghc-6.6.

My Cabal repository: <http://hackage.haskell.org/~paolo/darcs/Cabal/>

Patches (applied in the above repository):
<http://hackage.haskell.org/~paolo/tmp/cabal-install-tarball- index.patch> <http://hackage.haskell.org/~paolo/tmp/cabal-install- dependencies.patch>

Packages repository: <http://hackage.haskell.org/~paolo/darcs/packages/>

Some of the notable programs in the packages repository, if you are thinking about testing it out:
  * hnop (!)
  * lambdabot (!)
  * darcs-graph
  * hmp3
  * hask-home
* many of the dependencies of Hope (<http://hope.bringert.net/>), but no HaskellDB, any version available?
  * ...etc, darcs send me packages if you please.

Issues & ideas:
  * some packages miss the brief synopsis
* no multiple repositories are allowed (I am thinking about how to solving it, ideas are welcome)
  * should it work on windows for ghc-6.6?
* the dependency resolution code seem to work, but it should be probably "audited" better
  * you ideas?

Peace,
  Paolo.
