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

26 Oct '07

Fri Oct 26 00:31:26 PDT 2007 Ross Paterson <ross(a)soi.city.ac.uk> * no longer need to pass --ghc-pkg to haddock Haddock only runs ghc-pkg if 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"). M ./Distribution/Simple/Haddock.hs -5

presentation of dependencies in the web interface
by Ross Paterson 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Dependencies between packages are obviously more complex now that we have configurations. The web interface now has an experimental presentation of these dependencies transformed into disjunctive normal form, with the atoms being simple version ranges. It lacks tests of os, arch and impl, which will need to be added later. Still, people using configurations without those tests might like to check what it does to their packages.
