I will address that and > then see about uploading the newest version to hackage. I found 3.47 on hackage and think it is fit for uploading to Debian; just did that. I did patch the cabal file though, to avoid the dependency on HUnit. You could make that dependent on a flag (-f-testing) to be extra-nice, but it’s not important. Man pages for the utilities would be more important. Maybe this is another job where non-DD could bring themselves in? Also, cabal-debian does not create packages fully in sync with our current practice. Some points I spot are * Does not create Provides, Recommends and Suggests fields * Only build-depending on -prof, and not on -dev, works, but it would not be consistent with how we do it (B-D on both, version constraints only on -dev). * No VCS Headers, of course * Section misc, not haskell for the source * Priority optinal, not extra * maybe more Our current templates are found in http://darcs.debian.org/pkg-haskell/tools/template-debian/ David, I understand that not all these changes fit in the way you use cabal-debian. But maybe a flag --packaging-style could be introduced to cater for different preferences? Then this would be a very useful tool for use inside the DHG as well. Again, I don’t think I can work on that as well myself, but maybe someone else in the DHG is interested in doing that, i.e. providing David with the patches to make cabal-debian a great tool for our use?
