Re: [haskell art] haskell dependency management over time

For maintainers I wrote some scripts: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-scripts http://hackage.haskell.org/package/darcs-scripts However, updating many packages for new major releases of basic packages like 'transformers' or new Cabal features or new GHC features, still costs lot of time. As a user I have not tried cabal-dev and friends. I am just using 'cabal' and since there are so many versions of the packages and GHC around, many packages are installed multiple times (in different package and GHC versions) on my machine, such that the dependency hell hardly occurs. -- Read the whole topic here: Haskell Art: http://lurk.org/r/topic/5IaQGgN0fuNugfHYLDkgSk To leave Haskell Art, email haskell-...@group.lurk.org with the following email subject: unsubscribe

I should add, that installing multiple packages at once with 'cabal install' fixes package incompatibilities in many cases. -- Read the whole topic here: Haskell Art: http://lurk.org/r/topic/7e0vem43LgDpzKXOaGCmrK To leave Haskell Art, email haskell-...@group.lurk.org with the following email subject: unsubscribe
Re: [haskell art] haskell dependency management over time
Thank you Hans, and Henning. I like that they refer to the problem as cabal hell.

I find Haskell package-management to be a bit of a dark art. In particular, what I find, is that it is easy to break things on which I rely. This is compounded no doubt by my use of several development platforms. Still, I wonder if anyone has recommendations on using hsenv, or capri, or cabal-dev, or similar. One goal I think, could be to archive a minimal working environment for any given major piece. But I don't know if this is a heavy-handed approach, and as such, I ask in particular for your experience with maintaining Haskell code and systems over time.
