hello cabal devs,
i am willing to put a bit of time into improving the help texts of
cabal-install. some questions:
1) nobody else is working on this, right? is there risk that it
interferes with other's work? (i'd basically touch
Distribution.Simple.Command and the different fooCommand's in both
Setup.hs's)
Not to my knowledge.
2) is there a specific reason that the help texts currently are so
short, other than lack of time/focus on functionality? pending large
changes or smth?
Not really, feel free to go ahead and improve things.
3) is there a policy to keep commits touching Cabal and cabal-install
subdirectories separate (for git-subtree purposes, for example)?
No, and I think it's better to change both in lockstep so that there
are no broken revisions in history.
