For me this is a strong reason, yes. It's not only the immediate dependency, but the dependent library might rely on other libraries or compiler features and thus decreases portability. > If that's the case, perhaps continuing cabal developments will change that. I hope that this will solve the problem. Since I recently got to know that Edison contains EnumSet, which I think is useful for many FFIs, I will certainly use Edison in future. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
