Re: how to package Haskell libraries

the only ones to suffer from this wait, it seems like a good tradeoff. If we require a separate package for each compiler, I imagine many library packagers would opt for just packaging their library for ghc, which would be a shame as far as portability goes. -- David Roundy http://www.abridgegame.org

possible, leaving more subtle distinctions as derived tags wherever possible. The tags that are applied directly should be as obvious as possible, so that when reading the tag description anyone familiar with a given package will always give the same answer. Of course, this is the job of the tag task force, so maybe I should leave it up to them... -- David Roundy http://civet.berkeley.edu/droundy/
