Is there some sort of bundle that you can use to install cabal-install
easily? Because it looks to me like I'd have to spend the better part of an
evening manually downloading and installing the gazillion of dependencies it
has, which is far too much work when I just wanted to spend ten minutes
playing with some package...

Hi guys:
I don´t know how difficult really is, but it seens that it could be done
because all the necessary elements are there (except perhaps the mapping
package name-hackage url): Why hasn´t been done yet Is unknown to me.
It would be very useful and a big save of time to have a cabal commad
"chech-dependencies-and-install-them-by-downloading-them-from-hackage-then-
configure-build-and-install-this-package?. The unix installers do is t
from
binaries and are obsolete, so I have to do it manually with cabal
everytime
when i download a new compiler version from haskell.org.
Cheers
Alberto.
Use cabal-install:
cabal update && cabal install foo
checks for dependencies, downloads and builds them automatically (if
possible).
