Right, we've wanted to do that for a while but there are other limitations stopping us from doing that yet. > Moreover, something has to be done to decouple the file gathering from > the copying phase in this functions, but I am not the correct person to > decide how to do it. Indeed. We would want to change the installLibs/installExe for each compiler to return a set of files to copy. We can do that without changing to use a proper compiler abstraction. They're independent problems Duncan _______________________________________________ cabal-devel mailing list cabal-devel@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cabal-devel
