The answer is simple and literally the same as you described for devel/darcs (in terms of reasoning behind category and name); you've just skipped a step in case of Haskell user: Oh, it is a Cabal hackage, so it must be prefixed with `hs-' like all the other Haskell ports in the tree. But actually, we do not prefix ports, we do sometimes prefix packages. Oh, right. So it is simply "devel/darcs" then. Makes sense. :-) ./danfe But there is neither (real) haskell directory nor hs-darcs in > the ports tree.
