The Cabal package provides the library. The cabal-install package<br>

The deprecated package you're thinking of is cabal-get or<br>
cabal-setup.<br>

Will Hackage one day provide a way to discover that one package<br>

Currently you can see when a newer version of the exact same<br>
package exists, but (for example) take a took at how many<br>
gazillion database packages there are up there. Which ones are<br>
active? Which ones are obsolete? How can I tell??<br>

This has come up before. As you can see here:<br>

<br>
I think we just need someone (how about you!?) to start working on it.<br>

What do I need to do? Just obtain the Hackage source code and submit a Darcs patch or something? Or is it harder than that?</blockquote></div><div><br>A darcs patch should work. If you look in the thread I linked to you'll see this message by Thomas M. DuBuisson:</div>
