patch applied (cabal-branches/cabal-1.6): Make auto-generated *_paths.hs module warning-free.
by Duncan Coutts 22 Nov '08

22 Nov '08

Thu Nov 6 06:27:34 PST 2008 Thomas Schilling <nominolo(a)googlemail.com> * Make auto-generated *_paths.hs module warning-free. On newer GHCs using {-# OPTIONS_GHC -fffi #-} gives a warning which can lead to a compile failure when -Werror is activated. We therefore emit this option if we know that the LANGUAGE pragma is supported (ghc >= 6.6.1).

[Hackage] #409: Support for creating a static package repo

#409: Support for creating a static package repo ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: mnislaih | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) | Ghcversion: 6.8.3 Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Usual scenario: Bob has a bunch of packages for personal use he does not want or cannot upload to hackage. All he needs is a public_html folder, his packages in tar.gz files, and a bit of help to set up a private static hackage repo. RubyGems allows this with the ''generate_index'' command, see [http://rambleon.org/2008/08/01/creating-your-own-gem-server-redux/ here]. Since cabal-install supports multiple package sources already, the only thing missing is a command to generate the index and directory structure. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/409> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

[Hackage] #407: Installing new packages takes forever

#407: Installing new packages takes forever ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: Paul Visschers | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: major | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.10.1 Platform: Linux | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ I have a fresh install of GHC 6.10.1 and when I try to install new packages I get the following message: {{{ cabal: ghc-pkg describe * failed. If you are using ghc-6.9 and have an empty user package database then this is probably due to ghc bug #2201. The workaround is to register at least one package in the user package db. }}} I indeed have an empty user package database, but I kind of wanted to install my packages globally anyway, so I try again with the "--global" flag. This time I get the "Resolving dependencies..." message and then nothing more seems to happen. After a while my cpu's are both fully used and so is my memory. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/407> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

#406: Update lexing/parsing of haddock markup for hackageDB --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: conal | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: hackageDB website | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.3 Platform: | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Hackage uses an obsolete haddock lexer/parser for .cabal fields, causing parse failure. For instance, see the bare markup near the top of [http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/reactive the reactive lib page]. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/406> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
