patch applied (cabal): Write out Bool config values correctly
by Duncan Coutts 21 May '08

21 May '08

Wed May 21 08:34:20 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Write out Bool config values correctly Used by cabal-install when writing the default ~/.cabal/config file. Previously it was using show for type Maybe Bool and writing out "Just True" when of course it should just be "True".

patch applied (cabal): Rename doc/fptools.css to avoid the ghc build system cleaning it
by Duncan Coutts 20 May '08

20 May '08

Tue May 20 12:17:00 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Rename doc/fptools.css to avoid the ghc build system cleaning it The user guide gets built in two different ways. There's a target in Cabal's the top level Makefile and there is also the stuff that the ghc build system uses. The ghc build system expects to copy in doc/fptools.css and then delete it again on make clean. We want a persistent copy so that we can make the docs when we've just got a standalone Cabal build tree, so that's now kept as doc/Cabal.css. ./doc/fptools.css -> ./doc/Cabal.css M ./Makefile -1 +1 View patch online: http://darcs.haskell.org/cabal/_darcs/patches/20080520191700-adfee-4f3c670a…

patch applied (cabal): add data-dir field to package config
by Duncan Coutts 20 May '08

20 May '08

Fri May 9 06:04:48 PDT 2008 Bertram Felgenhauer <int-e(a)gmx.de> * add data-dir field to package config Cabal will look for data files to install relative to the directory given in the data-dir field, allowing package authors to better structure their source tree. There's no behavioural change by default.

patch applied (cabal): Allow the bindir, libdir and libexec dir to be specified via env vars too
by Duncan Coutts 19 May '08

19 May '08

Mon May 19 10:38:08 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Allow the bindir, libdir and libexec dir to be specified via env vars too Same as for the datadir. Eg for package Foo, you'd use Foo_bindir=... Foo_datadir=... Foo_libexecdir=... ./Foo The next step would be generating a wrapper script that allows running the program inplace. It should also work for a library. M ./Distribution/Simple/Build.hs -3 +3 View patch online: http://darcs.haskell.org/cabal/_darcs/patches/20080519173808-adfee-87e51956…
