cabal-install is a tool to manage Haskell's package building.
|
|
|
|
Cabal is a system for building and packaging Haskell libraries and
|
|
programs. It defines a common interface for package authors and
|
|
distributors to easily build their applications in a portable way.
|
|
Cabal is part of a larger infrastructure for distributing, organizing,
|
|
and cataloging Haskell libraries and programs.
|
|
|
|
This is a binary repack.
|
|
|
|
Although SBo provides ghc, which, in turn,
|
|
can theoretically build everything using the Setup.hs files in
|
|
package distributions, managing versions in Haskell is not trivial,
|
|
and also sematically dubious, since most Haskell libraries are static.
|
|
|
|
Cabal is intended to remediate this issue. Each cabal-based
|
|
SlackBuild would have to carry a large number of source files, but,
|
|
in turn, would avoid having to micro-manage dependencies, and
|
|
pollute the file system with single-use static libraries.
