Feel free to. Oh, btw that reminded me of one thing - could you consider using a specific DIST_SUBDIR for Haskell ports by default? The thing is that haskell modules' tarballs have pretty generic names (X11-1.5.0.0.tar.gz for example) so I though it'd be useful to have them in a separate subdir to ease search, maintainance and prevent collisions. I guess the same thing for Perl modules would be nice too. > > I believe that end-user ports should be named in such a way thay users > > I think users of those ports are mostly aware of Cabal and its nature. > The mentioned ports are also more or less "Haskellish": xmonad can be > configure via writing Haskell code, pandoc works a similar style as > Haskell sources by using the off-side rule, darcs is built upon > "theory of patches". They assume some awareness of Haskell. Maybe, but that really shouldn't affect naming. For example, I happen to have checked out working copy of darcs repo for pushover (.sf.net) game. However I don't know any theory behind darcs, and also I'd imagine how confused I will be to not find devel/darcs port where it should be along with other VCSs, without any prefixes. > In that sense Agda, alex, happy, c2hs, cpphs, haddock, hmake, hoogle, > hscolour, HaXml, uuagc should be also used without prefixes since they > are "standalone" applications.
