It depends on when we want to give those warnings. Eg it's ok to have some of those flags locally but we want to warn if you're preparing a package to distribute. So I'm leaning towards putting the check in sdist and perhaps also in it's own qa/check/lint command. Oh and of course to export it and use it in hackagedb's upload code too. > Mon Dec 31 09:47:09 PST 2007 agl(a)imperialviolet.org > * Ticket 176: Fix verbosity error to include the valid -v values We'd got a patch for this on in the mean time, though I prefer your clearer error message so have applied it and resolved the conflict. > Mon Dec 31 10:05:16 PST 2007 agl(a)imperialviolet.org > * Ticket 201: report IO errors during clean Applied. > Mon Dec 31 10:40:21 PST 2007 agl(a)imperialviolet.org > * Ticket 191: check for common, unwise GHC options Sorry, duplication here. Lennart sent in a patch for this yesterday and I think I prefer that approach. Though there's still work to do in linking the checks into the right places as I describe above. So thanks very much for the patches. Next time send them in as soon as you write them :-) and we'll avoid duplicated work. (I might be going mad, but I don't think I saw them sent to any list.) Next time you have a spare hour for Cabal, I'd suggest looking at the one on striping: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/88 Several packages are now using ghc-options: -opl-Wl,-s which is not great because I don't think that works on all platforms and it causes problems for distros that prefer to handle striping themselves.

So in theory all we need to do is read those files back in and we have a package database. Of course it would be better if hugs came with the package registration files for all the core packages. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/42#comment:2> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

[Hackage] #176: Bad verbosity message lacks crucial detail

#176: Bad verbosity message lacks crucial detail ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal | Version: HEAD Severity: minor | Keywords: Difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) | Ghcversion: 6.6 Platform: Windows | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- I wanted to run Cabal and get the maximum information for a bug report, so I did: runhaskell Setup sdist -v5 Setup: Bad verbosity 5 Which is a fine error message, but adding it to: Setup: Bad verbosity 5 (maximum allowed 3) Would save me doing a linear search to find the maximum value. (GHC version 6.8.1 with HEAD Cabal, but that's not a Trac approved combination) -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/176> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
