patch applied (cabal-install): Overhaul the bogus dependency resolver so it works again
by Duncan Coutts 16 Jun '08

16 Jun '08

Mon Jun 16 10:55:11 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Overhaul the bogus dependency resolver so it works again The bogusResolver is used for compilers like hugs and nhc98 where we do not know what packages are already installed. We do it by altering the descriptions of the packages we're going to install to remove all of their dependencies. Doing this gives us a valid install plan. We rely on hope to minimise the difference between this install plan and reality.

patch applied (cabal): construct InstalledPackageInfo from scratch rather than by overriding

Mon Jun 16 10:15:05 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * construct InstalledPackageInfo from scratch rather than by overriding It means we catch any fields that get added. As it happens we were missing a field, though its value is supposed to be just [] which is the same value as we got from the default emptyInstalledPackageInfo.

Haddock 2.x and --hoogle
by Neil Mitchell 14 Jun '08

14 Jun '08

Hi Duncan, In the Cabal-1.4 branch, Distribution.Simple.Haddock, line 143: when (hoogle && isVersion2) $ die $ "haddock 2.x does not support the --hoogle flag." As of earlier today, that is no longer true. We have several options: * Remove the warning all together - it always supported the --hoogle flag, it just never did anything. It should probably have been haddock issuing this warning all along, not cabal. * Make it check for haddock >= 2 && < 2.2 Thoughts? Neil

cabal-install failure: yi
by Darrin Thompson 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

I'm reposting this here as something bad appeared to happen to my post on haskell-cafe and I probably should have posted here anyway. Cabal-install is looking good. I needed only two deps outside of Cabal-1.4. I installed cabal-install-0.5 on ubuntu with the haskell.org linux binary for ghc 6.8.2. I then tried cabal-install yi Got this output: ... many successful installs ... Registering vty-3.0.1... Reading package info from "dist/installed-pkg-config" ... done. Saving old package config file... done. Writing new package config file... done. Downloading yi-0.3... [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( Setup.hs, dist/setup/Main.o ) Setup.hs:9:0: Warning: Deprecated use of `showPackageId' (imported from Distribution.Simple, but defined in Distribution.Package): use the Text class instead Linking dist/setup/setup ... Warning: defaultUserHooks in Setup script is deprecated. Configuring yi-0.3... Warning: Instead of 'ghc-options: -DDYNAMIC -DFRONTEND_VTY' use 'cpp-options: -DDYNAMIC -DFRONTEND_VTY' setup: alex version >=2.0.1 && <3 is required but it could not be found. cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: yi-0.3 failed during the configure step. The exception was: exit: ExitFailure 1 Is this a cabal problem of package problem? I would have expected it to fail immediately instead of discover this problem so far into process. Thanks. -- Darrin
