But it is built with cabal etc, so from that PoV is the process not similar? As for the 7.6 issue, yeah, I had to build from their git version. They need the newer cabal-dev testing on other platforms first according to https://github.com/creswick/cabal-dev/issues/74 which is a bit of a pain for us I guess. > Reading what’s on http://wiki.debian.org/Haskell (and subpages) is a > must, and reading through what tools are available on > http://anonscm.debian.org/darcs/pkg-haskell/tools/ might also be > enlightening. Besides that, feel free to ask on this list. Thanks for these pointers.

Mmm, I will eventually be packaging Myrosinase which is a tool I'm writing in Haskell (which produces a library *and* the cmdline tool) so I guess I could use some smaller tool-only or lib-only options to help me to learn it all. Looks like I have an evening or two of reading ahead of me first. D. -- Daniel Silverstone http://www.digital-scurf.org/ PGP mail accepted and encouraged.
