patch applied (cabal): When multiple specifying list fields in the same section combine them
by Duncan Coutts 23 Apr '08

Wed Apr 23 13:15:19 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * When multiple specifying list fields in the same section combine them eg if you had: extensions: Foo extensions: Bar, Baz then previously we only ended up with [Bar, Baz]. Now we get them all. Only applies to list fields, for single fields the second value is taken and the first is silently discarded. This isn't good of course but the fix is harder since we're not in a context where we can report errors. Really we should just declare up front what kind of field it is and inherit the right behaviour automagically, either duplicates disallowed or allowed and combined with mappend.

patch applied (cabal): Fix the check for -XFooBar ghc-options flags to be more permissive
by Duncan Coutts 23 Apr '08

23 Apr '08

Wed Apr 23 12:02:43 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Fix the check for -XFooBar ghc-options flags to be more permissive Previously we rejected all such flags but that posed the problem that older versions of Cabal, like 1.1.6 did not understand new extensions so we could not actually follow the advice and use the extenion. So now we only warn about -X flags if they refer to old extensions that Cabal 1.1.6 knew about. If the .cabal file specifies cabal-version: >= 1.2 or similar (anything that excludes 1.1.6) then we warn about all -X flags.

patch applied (cabal-branches/cabal-1.4): Package check now take a GenericPackageDescription
by Duncan Coutts 23 Apr '08

23 Apr '08

Wed Apr 23 08:03:54 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Package check now take a GenericPackageDescription Unfortunately in some cases we only have a already-configured PackageDescription to we have to expose a checkConfiguredPackage. We should refactor things so that we keep all the information even in a configured PackageDescription.

patch applied (cabal-branches/cabal-1.4): Add scripts for testing compatability with hackage packages
by Duncan Coutts 23 Apr '08

23 Apr '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.
