The first thing that needs to be done is to acknowledge its existence. Often Haskell zealots pretend it's not a Cabal problem but a user problem. So this article is indeed a very good start.
- dllthomas 12y agoI think it's not "a cabal problem", in the sense of cabal being somehow awful and "doing it wrong" where other systems "do it right". The symptoms are a result of the confluence of a few things (mentioned elsewhere in this discussion), some of which are quite positive, which make the problem substantially harder. Which isn't to say there's no problem, or that nothing could or should be better - I'm glad it's getting attention and I'm glad people have ideas for improvements, though both of those have been true for a while.
