Well - the various Linux distributions certainly could do this - providing a virtual "haskell-libs" package that just pulls in a bunch of commonly used packages. It'd be nice, of course, if that package was reasonably consistent across distributions, and if there were a corresponding installer for those other operating systems. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
