It should continue to work with older ghc versions. So we should probably encourage users to upgrade. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/455> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

[Hackage] #359: Warn if package index is older than X days

#359: Warn if package index is older than X days ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- People often trip up with getting older versions of packages than they expected because their package index is out of date. This is because people have to manually run `cabal update` occasionally. It would be nice if this could be done automatically, though we also need to support offline operation. In the mean time we should at least warn if the package index looks rather old. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/359> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
