Cabal 2.0

[Duncan Coutts]

All,

I've started a wiki page to collect ideas for Cabal 2

http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/wiki/Cabal-2

The basic idea for Cabal 2 is to learn lessons from our how the existing
design has fared and how we can make a better design to tackle an
expanded set of goals.

I'd like the page to be about suggested design concepts. I don't want to
fill it with "wouldn't it be nice if we had a feature to help me
doing ..."

I guess it would also be useful to make links on that page to some of
the discussions we've had on various lists, eg on the ghc users and
libraries mailing lists where various people have made criticisms of the
current design and suggested alternatives and improvements.
