411	Command to install dependencies of a package.	mornfall		"Something like cabal install-deps or install --deps-only or such. We spoke about this with Duncan and this is the proposed solution to my use-case:

I have a project that basically consists of a simple shebang haskell script (go.hs), which happens to have somewhat obscure dependencies. I am not interested in building a binary out of this script, nor installing it: but I'd like to use cabal to track and automatically install the dependencies for it. Hence, I would provide a cabal file, whose main purpose would be for people to run ""cabal install-deps"", which would enable them to run ./go.hs directly...

Hopefully it is clear what I mean here... Don't hesitate to prod me if you have better suggestions, or, questions..."	defect	closed	normal	cabal-install-0.10	cabal-install tool	1.6.0.1	normal	fixed			easy (<4 hours)	6.8.3
