This is the target of cabal-install. That's right. But from a developer point of view, that's not the priority. Doing it this order would works for OCaml too. > Would you like such a system for Ocaml? If yes, I think we can manage to > make it suit our needs. If no, what would you change? I would perhaps avoid the custom language approach and use a plain OCaml file. However that's the only drawback I came up with. -- Nicolas Pouillard aka Ertai --=-1201694793-608731-27517-9105-16-= Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (Darwin) iD8DBQFHoGhJj+FCNw9dwLkRAtN/AJ91WZhqI3+lQxLrgx3b9h3WV+ci/ACgoUWF t8qGta8sYqGNjII5ns9KVik= =U4bC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-1201694793-608731-27517-9105-16-=--
