(No)MonoPatBinds

Hi all, Does this patch: [The extension is NoMonoPatBinds not MonoPatBinds Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org>**20071109142217] { hunk ./Language/Haskell/Extension.hs 107 - | MonoPatBinds + | NoMonoPatBinds } break the GHC >= 6.8 extension handling? My memory is that we allow the strings Foo and NoFoo, for each extension constructor Foo. I'm not sure if anyone would ever want to specify the default (e.g. NoCPP) in a Cabal file, though. Thanks Ian

#40: sdist runs tar, which is a problem under Windows ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ 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): Replying to [comment:6 ross(a)soi.city.ac.uk] > It makes sense to take sdist out of the library, as it's not essential for building, and would work better with these extra dependencies. Yes. > But I'm not sure about bundling everything in an all-purpose program. Small special-purpose tools have fewer dependencies and avoid many coordination issues. More of them (cabal-deb, cabal-rpm, cabal-msi, etc) can be added by third parties without looking second class. I don't think it is necessary to bundle everything into one program. I think it is good to have everything unified under one command from a user interface point of view. For example we should be able to set things up so cabal-rpm, cabal-deb etc provide the rpm and deb commands for the cabal tool. {{{ $ cabal --help }}} should list all commands {{{ $ cabal rpm }}} should call out to cabal-rpm or whatever helper is registered. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/40#comment:7> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
