Does anyone know if the GSOC trac is in use this year? (or will be?). I started advocating for an extension to cabal to specify Setup.hs build dependencies last year, with this ticket: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/1602 I think the idea still has merit :) If anyone has comments, that would be a great place to put them (to clarify anything I've overlooked, point out shortcomings, suggest implementations, etc...). --Rogan > 3.
