Re: GHC's CPP and Cabal's unlit

I have completed changes to the Unlit module, and also a change to the Haddock module (to run unlit before cpp). darcs patches attached. I'd love to know what the official approach to testing is. I have written a test module which exercises the Unlit module, but I'm not sure how to tie it in to any existing test infrastructure. At the moment I just have it sitting in tests/unlit. Thanks, Alistair

[Hackage] #228: Cryptic error when a package does not exist

#228: Cryptic error when a package does not exist ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: Linux | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ {{{ $ cabal install foo cabal: user error (Unresolved dependencies: foo -any) }}} I expect a clearer error message here. Not sure about the exact wording, maybe »No such package available: foo« or »No such package to fetch: foo«. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/228> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
