[Hackage] #233: case of Boolean values "true" and "false" should not matter
by Hackage 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

#233: case of Boolean values "true" and "false" should not matter ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | 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 Cabal documentation does not specify the formatting of Boolean values "true" and "false". Hence it seems reasonable to assume that case does not matter, as it does not matter for any field name. However, the ghc- based implementation of Cabal seems to only accept init-caps "True" and "False". -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/233> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

patch applied (cabal): Tweak warning message about bool fields to include the field name

patch applied (cabal): We do not show the field value on a parse error so don't pretend we do.

Thu Mar 27 15:14:42 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * We do not show the field value on a parse error so don't pretend we do. Drop the trailing ": " on the error message. We could provide the field value but they're often multi-line and we cannot pin-point where the error is exactly.

patch applied (cabal): Use the Text Bool instance for parsing literals in conditions
by Duncan Coutts 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

Thu Mar 27 14:55:01 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Use the Text Bool instance for parsing literals in conditions Since it exactly matches what the previous condition parser did. So we have two different ways of parsing Bool depending on context. Sigh. Both match exactly what was done in Cabal-1.2.

patch applied (cabal): Parse Bool fields using more cunning, allow new parses with a warning
by Duncan Coutts 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

Thu Mar 27 14:34:11 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Parse Bool fields using more cunning, allow new parses with a warning We want to allow case-insensitive parsing however we don't want packages being uploaded to hackage that will break older versions of Cabal. If we allow new valid parses then we will end up breaking stuff. So what we really want to do is allow new parses but warn if they're not ones that older versions of Cabal would have allowed. So long as hackage rejects pakcages that have parse warnings then we can prevent new .cabal files appearing on hackage that would break older Cabal versions. Our current parser (ReadP) does not support warnings so we have to handle the bool fields specially in the parser wrapper layer that we added to handle errors and warnings. This can go away when we use a parser with support for error and warning messages.

patch applied (cabal): Add scripts for testing compatability with hackage packages
by Duncan Coutts 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

Thu Mar 27 09:15:40 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Add scripts for testing compatability with hackage packages So far just a test that all the non-trivial Setup.(l)hs scripts compile. This only tests the latest versions, though if one were to download a complete archive then one could test them all. To speed up the check we skip Setup.hs scripts that have fewer than 22 words. Below this cutoff there are no custom hooks and it catches the great majority of scripts which greatly speeds up the check.
