cabal for ghc 6.8.2, package upgrade warnings, please?
by Claus Reinke 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

assuming that ghc 6.8.2 is not too far away, is there any chance of cabal becoming a bit friendlier wrt old .cabal and Setup files, before that release? you've heard me say before that i'd have preferred a backwards compatibility module, but if that isn't possible, couldn't cabal at least detect that a .cabal file is probably outdated (==not obviously up to date), and issue a warning with a helpful url? something like: $ runhaskell Setup configure *** warning: this .cabal/Setup file might be out of date; *** if you run into issues, please contact the *** package maintainer, and have a look at *** http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Upgrading_packages .. (either it works or you get errors here, but you already know something is not quite right, and what to do about it) btw, i knew that page existed, but had quite a bit of trouble finding it. shouldn't there be prominent links to it from cabal and hackage home pages? as in: concerning recent cabal updates (look here first if you have trouble with old .cabal packages). in the longer term, that could become the start of a cabal/hackage faq section.. claus

command line handling changes
by Duncan Coutts 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

As you noticed, I just committed a fairly large refactoring of Cabal's command line handling. So if you're using Cabal HEAD be on the lookout for any changes in the behaviour. If you find any regressions please report them. Duncan

patch applied (cabal): Bump development version number due to api change
by Duncan Coutts 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Tue Nov 20 08:41:21 PST 2007 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Bump development version number due to api change Since we've changed the exports of the Setup module significantly. However since this is a dev series I don't think it makes sense to bump the major version number as in the PVP, or we'd end up doing it all the time in a development series. M ./Cabal.cabal -2 +2 M ./Makefile -2 +2 M ./releaseNotes -1 +1
