One issue that comes up is that when you fork a package, data can no
longer be freely exchanged between libraries using the original
package's datatypes and libraries using the forked package's
datatypes. Something that might help here is the concept of
"extension" or "friend" packages or modules:
That works fine for my own stuff, but I'd like it to work for people
using my software that relies on those packages.

I patch broken packages in my local repository. I increment a version
so the local repository get a precedence over the Hackage.

Hello all,
I've recently had problems with haskell-src-meta. While it's a great
package, it doesn't currently compile on GHC 6.12, and Matt Morrow
doesn't seem to be around to push the version that does to Hackage.
Our "one-world" approach with cabal seems to discourage forking as a
