[Haskell-cafe] cabal-dev add-source

[JP Moresmau]

Johan, thanks, that brings me to a point that I wanted to raise. I'm
playing with cabal-dev because users have asked me to add support for it in
EclipseFP (so projects could have their own sandbox and have dependencies
between projects without polluting the main package databases). It is worth
it, or should I just wait for cabal 1.18 and use the sandboxing facility?
Or will the two work similarly enough that supporting both will be easy?
Does the sandboxing in cabal means that tools like cabal-dev are going to
get deprecated?

Thanks

JP
