If this new proposal will allow us not to ship Cabal with GHC, then I think it's preferable to the old one. For example, Haskell Platform is often forced to use an old version of Cabal because the Cabal version is determined by the GHC version. _______________________________________________ cabal-devel mailing list cabal-devel@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cabal-devel
