patch applied (cabal): Simplify the handling of --with-prog= in build/haddock commands.

01 Sep '08

Sun Aug 31 14:55:51 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Simplify the handling of --with-prog= in build/haddock commands. We allow extra rgs and the location of programs to be given to the build and haddock commands, not just at configure time. The code to do this is now simpler and more general. This should not be the default use mode however since it involves configuring the programs each time where as doing it at configure time allows it to be done once and saved. Further, specifying a different version of the program at build time than at configure time is likely to fail, especially for the compiler programs. Changing the compiler really requires reconfiguring.

Sun Aug 31 14:48:13 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Add some more handy Program utils Mostly for dealing with lists of programs so that client code doesn't need quite to much flip foldl' (flip thing) Add specific helpers for reconfiguring programs and restoring a full ProgramConfiguration after usign read.

Sun Aug 31 14:25:26 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Don't redundantly pass programArgs in when calling programs. That's already done by the Program framework so we were passing those extra args in twice.

patch applied (cabal): Merge PackageSet and PackageIndex
by Duncan Coutts 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

Sat Aug 30 06:02:50 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Merge PackageSet and PackageIndex Have just a single module that provides both the case sensitive and insensitive operations. Turns out we hardly use the case insensitive operations, and the places where we do are not performance sensitive at all. So we use the PackageSet implementation which stores the packages case sensitively and tack on the case insensitive operations but with linear time implementations rather than log time. For the merged module/type name use PackageIndex because that is what older released versions exported, so less needless client breakage. ./Distribution/Simple/PackageSet.hs -> ./Distribution/Simple/PackageIndex.hs M ./Cabal.cabal -1 M ./Distribution/PackageDescription/Configuration.hs -6 +6 M ./Distribution/Simple/Configure.hs -9 +9 M ./Distribution/Simple/GHC.hs -4 +4 M ./Distribution/Simple/Haddock.hs -2 +2 M ./Distribution/Simple/JHC.hs -4 +4 M ./Distribution/Simple/LocalBuildInfo.hs -2 +2 R ./Distribution/Simple/PackageIndex.hs M ./Distribution/Simple/PreProcess.hs -4 +4 View patch online: http://darcs.haskell.org/cabal/_darcs/patches/20080830130250-adfee-71f1ac3a…

patch applied (cabal): Add checkPackageFileNames function to check portability of file names

Wed Aug 27 01:23:49 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Add checkPackageFileNames function to check portability of file names Windows has restrictions on names of files and portable tar archives have some weird length restrictions too.
