patch applied (cabal): Rewrite rawSystemStdout to not use runInteractiveProcess with ghc
by Duncan Coutts 27 Jan '08

Since runInteractiveProcess is only available on ghc we use the temp file method for other implementations. M ./Distribution/Simple/Utils.hs -35 +30

darcs patch: better error reporting for undefined flags (ticket #164)
by Brent Yorgey 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

Hi all, Attached please find a patch intended to resolve ticket #164. A few things: * Is this the canonical way to submit patches? Or am I supposed to attach it to the ticket on the trac? * I am very interested in feedback on this patch: suggestions for improvement in style, implementation, or organization, suggested refactorings, better error message, and so on. * I tested it as well as I could (it compiles, and works correctly on the several packages I tried) but more thorough testing may be required; I'm not sure what the best way is to really "put it through its paces", so to speak. -Brent On Jan 25, 2008 4:54 PM, Brent Yorgey <byorgey(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi cabal folks! > > In an effort to help out with Cabal stuff, I'm going to start by taking a > crack at ticket #164 on the trac (bad error message with undefined flags). > Just thought I would claim it as "mine" so no one else steals my lollipop. > =) > > cheers, > -Brent >
