2. Cabal doesn't recognise "framework-dirs" as a field name, even though
it shows up in "ghc-pkg describe".
Yes, cabal does not currently support that field. It probably should.
The format used by ghc-pkg is quite similar to the cabal format, but not
exactly the same, so don't be surprised by things appearing in one and
not the other, or having slightly different names or meanings.
Yes, this is an important point. The ghc-pkg format is InstalledPackageInfo,
see
http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/Cabal/Distribution/InstalledPackageInfo.hs
whereas the .cabal file contains a PackageDescription, which is quite a
different beast. They happen to look similar and contain several fields in
common, though.
It might be reasonable for .cabal to have framework-dirs, but I don't know
anything about frameworks... anyone?
Cheers,
Simon
