[Hackage] #339: cabal should force a rebuild when Extensions: or *-Options: change

#339: cabal should force a rebuild when Extensions: or *-Options: change ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.3 Platform: Mac OS | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- I have removed -fglasgow-exts from the line Ghc-Options: -Wall -fglasgow-exts of my .cabal file, but otherwise no file did change. After that I was told to ./Setup.lhs configure and then ./Setup.lhs build The latter did not complain. Then I did: ./Setup.lhs clean and ./Setup.lhs build This time I ended up with compile errors. (Unfortunately I uploaded the package to Hackage before noticing this :-( The right way to fix this might be to (configure to) remind the user to clean the package before building (or to do that automatically). -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/339> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

[Hackage] #223: allow per-package configuration options in config file
by Hackage 22 Aug '08

#223: allow per-package configuration options in config file ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.4 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Currently only a subset of the configure command line flags can be stored in cabal-install's config file. There is no particularly good reason for this. It should be reasonably straightforward to do it generically and allow all configure options to be kept in the config file. This may require some unification of the API for managing command line flags (the Simple.Command module) and the API for loading and saving from config flags (in ParseUtils). Once this is done, it should be straightforward to keep per-package config options as well as global options in the cabal-install config file. These could be used to augment the options used when configuring a package. The order of overriding in cabal-install is currently: {{{ savedConfig `mappend` configFlags }}} That is, the configure options from the config file are overridden by the ones supplied on the command line. With per-package saved config we would extend this to: {{{ globalSavedConfig `mappend` packageSavedConfig pkg `mappend` configFlags }}} ie per-package saved, overrides global saved, but command line still overrides everything. The slightly tricky bit is in how the api for config files and command line flags should be made to work better with each other, so that one set of information can be read/written from either source. The rest should be straightforward. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/223> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
