#40: how well does sdist work in windows? is there a better way to find 'tar'? ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: ijones | Owner: kr.angelov(a)gmail.com Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal | Version: Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.2.1 | Platform: Linux ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Comment (by duncan): Perhaps the sdist feature should be part of the cabal-install tool and not part of the Cabal library. Then it could use the zlib package as cabal- install does. That would be a solution for Windows. The Cabal library could provide functions just to prepare the sdist temporary directory but not the bit that actually packs that up into a .tar.gz file. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/40#comment:5> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

And they have to do this for ever more. There is no way to drop the epoch.

patch applied (cabal): no longer need to pass --allow-missing-html to haddock
by Ross Paterson 26 Oct '07

26 Oct '07

Fri Oct 26 01:41:24 PDT 2007 Ross Paterson <ross(a)soi.city.ac.uk> * no longer need to pass --allow-missing-html to haddock This option only affects Haddock if it is invoked with --use-package, and Cabal no longer uses that option, as it now gets the arguments for --read-interface from ghc-pkg directly (cf patch "rejig location of package interfaces for haddock").
