The earliest the cabal file will become blessed by 2009-07. I think I may have been the one to make this comment, but I don't find it particularly depressing. We could use Cabal for building darcs, and make for doing maintainer-y things, which doesn't seem particularly objectionable because the need to keep maintainer-y things accesible to a wide audience isn't quite so large. -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
