Unfortunately it cannot be less smart or it'd try rebuilding haskell98 against base 3. > So why is the version of network not bumped, yet? The maintainer is > libraries(a)haskell.org. Would it interfere with ghc-6.8? Done, and it works with (at least) ghc-6.6.1, 6.8.2 and 6.10.0.recent. Duncan

[Hackage] #388: Add a warning for unknown modules that were compiled

#388: Add a warning for unknown modules that were compiled ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: jcpetruzza | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.3 Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Let's say you are working on a new version of a library; you add a new internal (i.e. non-exposed) module but you forget to update the package description. You locally test your changes, everything works fine so you install it. Now, since the new module is not listed in {{{other-modules}}} it will not be included in the final library. Therefore, when you try to use it you get rather cryptic linker errors. It can take a while until you realize where the problem is coming from. The proposal is to look, during build, for compiled modules under the {{{dist}}} directory that are not included in the final library and warn the user about their presence. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/388> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
