Heh, I just hit Reply All and I guess the address came in wrong. Ah, well. I strongly agree with you on the state of linguistics, et al. Having done little bits of work in a few of those fields (or at least work _with_ people in them), your comments are spot on. Though perhaps I wouldn't say tha

2011-07-09 Thread Andrew Pennebaker
Please add an automated uninstall option for Cabal packages. It's a pain to remove them manually, and the user expectation based on other package managers (Gem, Aptitude, MacPorts, Homebrew, Yum, Emerge) is that "cabal uninstall"/"cabal remove" does the intuitive thing: remove packages and their de
