[Hackage] #172: cabal-install segfaults

#172: cabal-install segfaults ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.6 Platform: Linux | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Using the newest library version on hackage, "cabal update" segfaults after downloading the package list from hackage. "cabal install" produces the error "cabal: Data.ByteString.Lazy.index: index too large: 0" steps to reproduce the problem (at least for me): install the newest versions of Cabal (1.2.2.0), HTTP (3001.0.0), and zlib (0.4.0.1) from hackage, compile and install cabal-install (0.4.0) from hackage, create a directory called dist (to circumvent another problem with cabal-install), run cabal update, or cabal install -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/172> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

#145: Hackage does not support UTF-8 characters ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.4 Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.1.6 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) Ghcversion: 6.4.2 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by duncan): So to do this properly we have to consider unicode everywhere in the .cabal file parser. What is the best strategy? Some fields want to be ascii only, like package names, dependencies etc. Others are totally free form. Probably the right thing to do is to read the .cabal file as utf8 before parsing. Then for those fields that should be ascii only we should parse as we do now and then do a check afterwards and complain about chars we do not allow. That way we get better error messages. However if we're decoding from UTF8 then we have the problem that we have to re-encode when printing, eg in error messages and when writing files. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/145#comment:2> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

[Hackage] #241: The Make build-type doesn't pass haddock options to make

#241: The Make build-type doesn't pass haddock options to make ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: ross(a)soi.city.ac.uk | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- The Simple build-type works out the correct options for haddock, including the extra options for haddock2 and --read-interface options taking into account the --html-location option. For example this is used by hackageDB to generate correct inter-package links. There is no way for the makefile to figure out where those links should point. (e.g. the wxcore package.) The Make build-type ought to put these options in a HADDOCKOPTS setting on the make command line, so that the makefile can pass these to haddock. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/241> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

[Hackage] #211: Add qa/check command
by Hackage 21 Feb '08

#211: Add qa/check command ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.4 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: Linux | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ The current set of QA checks (see #191) will be run automatically before sdist however it would still be useful for developers to be able to run them specifically. It'd also allow adding more expensive checks that would be inappropriate to run for sdist. Initially just running the existing QA checks would be enough. We can add more expensive ones later. As such, marking this ticket as easy. What should the command be called? "qa" "check" ? -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/211> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
