BTW, just so we do not loose track of those reasons could you double check that all the problems and limitations you reported are described accurately in the hackage trac. That'd be great. http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ In the cases where what you're trying to do does not quite chime with the way Cabal works now it's probably best to describe what you're actually trying to achieve as well as the immediate problem. > However, I can have a cabal file to > describe the dependencies and so forth.

Yes, you can: cabal configure cabal register --gen-pkg-config=foo.pkg ghc-pkg register foo.pkg So that does depend on being able to configure the package successfully. If you don't use cabal-install yet replace "cabal" with "runghc Setup.hs" in the above commands.
