Sat Feb 2 20:23:08 PST 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Fudge comment indentation in unliting to work with haddock The rule is, if we see any bird track style code then we will indent all comments by two spaces so that it should line up with the code. Otherwise we use no indentation so that it'll work with latex style literate files. This makes it work for takusen (once you change the '.' lines to be blank).

So something like: {{{ source: http://foo.org/code.git }}} That is, an untyped url without information about what type of repo it is. '''Or''' we include type information about the source: {{{ source: http://foo.org/code.git source-type: git }}} It shouldn't be constrained to just darcs, in any case. Besides darcs, probably the most common case is google code's svn repos, in fact. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/58#comment:5> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

[Hackage] #191: Hackage should check for common QA problems in ghc-options

#191: Hackage should check for common QA problems in ghc-options --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal | Version: 1.2.2.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.1 Platform: Linux | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Simple test that many packages have is dodgy ghc-options, or options that would be suitable for development but not release. It should be easy to check for these. Suggestions: {{{ghc-options: -Wall -Werror}}} is a very bad combination. It means the package will break silently as soon as the next version of ghc adds a new warning, which generally does happen every major release. {{{ghc-options: -fasm}}} is unnecessary and breaks on all arches except for x86, x86-64 and ppc. {{{ghc-options: -O}}} is unnecessary since Cabal does that itself and it prevents people from configuring with the {{{--disable-optimization}}} flag. {{{ghc-options: -O2}}} may be necessary in some circumstances but people should not use it routinely for the same reasons as -O and since -O2 take a lot longer to compile most of the time and usually with little benefit. {{{ghc-options: -ffi}}} or {{{-fffi}}} use extensions: ForeignFunctionInterface. Once #190 is implemented then {{{ghc-options: -fvia-C}}} will be unnecessary too. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/191> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
