[Hackage] #291: cabal-install cannot re-install itself on windows

#291: cabal-install cannot re-install itself on windows ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: Windows | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ It fails when it gets round to actually installing the executable file. This is because in windows more than a little tricky for a program to replace its own executable file. Trying to overwrite or replace a file that is open by a process fails. It is possible to rename the existing exe file so that the new one can be installed though that still leaves the problem of deleting the old exe file. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/291> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

#292: warnings in Paths_pkgname module on windows ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: minor | Keywords: Difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: Windows | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- If you build the `Paths_pkgname` module that Cabal generates on windows then you get these kinds of warnings: {{{ dist\build\autogen/Paths_cabal_install.hs:12:0: Warning: Module `Data.Maybe' is imported, but nothing from it is used, except perhaps instances visible in `Data.Maybe' To suppress this warning, use: import Data.Maybe() dist\build\autogen/Paths_cabal_install.hs:19:0: Warning: Definition but no type signature for `prefix' Inferred type: prefix :: [Char] dist\build\autogen/Paths_cabal_install.hs:20:0: Warning: Definition but no type signature for `bindirrel' Inferred type: bindirrel :: [Char] dist\build\autogen/Paths_cabal_install.hs:73:14: Warning: This binding for `p' shadows an existing binding In a case alternative dist\build\autogen/Paths_cabal_install.hs:80:9: Warning: This binding for `path' shadows an existing binding In a case alternative }}} It'd be nice if we generated code that gave no warnings so that people could make `-Wall` clean packages on Windows. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/292> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
