Bug#704876: hothasktags: FTBFS: cabal: Command not found

I know you are the author of debhelper, but is there any other reason? In the next version of haskell-devscripts even supports the installation of cabal-built binaries in a declarative way, i.e. without modifying debian/rules. I can upload 0.8.14 if you want to use it for hothasktags. If you want to avoid cdbs, I’d be happy to see dh support Haskell, but it should use the same building steps as haskell-devscripts now, I’d think. Also, I don’t think we should ever use cabal in the packaging scripts, it would be similar to using aptitude instead of dpkg when building packages. Just use the Setup.lhs in every package.

I don't know if it's worth putting in the time to make debhelper support haskell library packages, but it certianly makes sense for it to automatically handle packages that simply build binaries from a cabal file. I hope to see an increasing number of such packages in Debian. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I hope to see an increasing number of such packages in Debian. I don’t think that there is such a big difference there. The commands called are the same (compile Setup.*hs, configure, build, install with --destdir), and the library-sepecifc stuff is already in dh_haskell_* commands that should go well with dh. OTOH thinks work well now, so there is no pressing need to change the running system.
