Hi all,
While I'm sure we still have a bugfix release or two to make on the 1.20
branch, I thought it'd be worth looking at what we want to accomplish for
1.22. Here are my thoughts on what we should focus on:
## A dependency solver that always works
As Hackage has grown so have the
Hi Johan,
Not sure if this mail is a request for comments, but on the story for large
projects one thing that I would like to see is the ability to add packages
that aren't in hackage to the depends list. I agree that adding some
scanning and auto add ability is definitely sorely needed, but this

Having to share code via releases is indeed the problem with an internal
Hackage. I don't see that scaling well as an organization gets bigger. You
really need to be able to check out the organization's source repo and have
that contain a bunch of (non-released) packages and build them together.
I'd like to add to the list: change cabal-install so that most of its code
is exported to hackage as a library. In the past I've occasionally wanted
to do some of the same things the cabal binary does from code, and it would
be much more convenient to link the relevant code in than to exec the

What's the reason for this?
