Hi
I'd like to work on this too. But I I'm lacking some knowledge here.At the moment cabal is using ReadP, right? Am I also right that ReadP is lacking user friendly error messages compared to parsec? I like the idea of using either { ; ; } or indentation. Thus you have best of both styles, C and python such like the haskell language. So would it be ok to use parsec instead of ReadP?
Another advantage of Parsec is that then you'd be able to install a Hugs package without passing the -98 flag every time. ReadP requires forall, but Parsec doesn't unless you use the expression parser, which I doubt Cabal would require. This will also make it easier to do a Yhc port of Cabal.
