#176 Cabal verbosity message patch
by Thomas DuBuisson 13 Jan '08

See attached patch fixing Ticket 176 - just a simple additional string on printout w/ magic number. Figured making Verbosity derive Enum / making the functions talk in Enum/succ terms was excessive. TomMD

#56: hackageDB should not accept a package if it is not installable --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: ijones | Owner: ijones Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.4 Component: HackageDB website | Version: Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.2.1 | Platform: Linux --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by duncan): One option here is to put newly uploaded packages into a separate category and not move them over into the main repo until there are some number of successful build reports. This would depend on hackage/cabal-install build reporting (ticket #184). That'd reduce the load on a central hackage server. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/56#comment:3> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

#53: if cabal get update needs to run, say so ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: ijones | Owner: ijones Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.4 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: Severity: major | Resolution: fixed Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.2.1 | Platform: Linux ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by duncan): * status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: We currently get: {{{ $ cabal install cabal-upload Warning: The package list does not exist. Run 'cabal update' to download it. cabal: Unresolved dependencies: cabal-upload -any }}} I misunderstood the request. The original request was just to say when the package list is missing. I interpreted it as knowing to update the package list based on a request to install something that was on the server but not in the current package list, which is rather harder. So closing this one as it's fixed. Though we could probably do better, it should be an error straight off rather than a warning followed by another error. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/53#comment:7> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
