#408: cabal install / cabal update should give warning when preferred versions will result in something other than the latest version on hackage ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: tphyahoo | Owner: duncan coutts Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.3 Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ The natural assumption, unless you know better, is that cabal install -- and especially cabal upgrade -- will install the latest verion of a package on hackage. But the preferred-version machinery invalidates this assumptijon. The suggestions is to emit a warning like {{{ cabal install haxml Downloading HaXml-1.13.3... Note: the preferred version is HaXml-1.13.3 but latest version is HaXml-1.19, so put Build-Depends: HaXml == 1.19.4 in your cabal file if you want that version. }}} I would have this message pop up for both cabal install and cabal upgrade See http://groups.google.com/group/fa.haskell/browse_thread/thread/c39dca259a94… for discussion thread. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/408> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

patch applied (cabal): Eliminate NoLowerBound, Versions do have a lower bound of 0.

Wed Dec 10 06:54:33 PST 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Eliminate NoLowerBound, Versions do have a lower bound of 0. This eliminates the duplicate representation of ">= 0" vs "-any" and makes VersionIntervals properly canonical.

patch applied (cabal): Update and extend the Version quickcheck properties
by Duncan Coutts 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

Wed Dec 10 06:32:51 PST 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Update and extend the Version quickcheck properties One property fails. The failure reveals that the VersionInterval type is not quite a canonical representation of the VersionRange semantics. This is because the lowest Version is [0] and not -infinity, so for example the intervals (.., 0] and [0,0] are equivalent.
