You see it as a problem. Is that a correct > description? well, not a show-stopper problem, but there are issues with it. The comparison with cabal-install is not valid. cabal-install’s main feature is to download stuff (like an ftp client), while leksah’s main feature is to edit Haskell code. Imaging that kate would require an Internet connection to be able to highlight your code... Also, are you providing the metadata for each and every version on leksah.org? Once Debian releases, the versions of the included Haskell libraries are not going to change for two or more years... Therefore, I’d like to include the metadata that leksah needs within the haskell library package. Therefore the question: If .kshm-files are generated upon building a library, and shipped along, is that enough to make leksah happy?
