patch applied (cabal-install): Use the new withTempDirectory function
by Duncan Coutts 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Sun Feb 1 17:22:55 PST 2009 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Use the new withTempDirectory function In particular it means that install will unpack packages into different temp dirs on each invocation which means that running install on the same package for different compilers at the same time should not clash. This is quite useful for testing.

[Hackage] #486: cabal-install's bootstrap.sh has no recovery strategy in case of errors

#486: cabal-install's bootstrap.sh has no recovery strategy in case of errors ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- When attempting to install cabal-install for the first time, on a unix system, using the supplied bootstrap.sh script, if anything goes wrong during the script, it carries on regardless, leaving the install process in an inconsistent and potentially unrecoverable state. I tried to install cabal-install for ghc-6.8.2, which was originally supplied with an older version of Cabal (1.2.3.0), on a Mac. For some reason (probably another Cabal bug), my existing $HOME/.cabal /powerpc-darwin-6.8.2 directory had the wrong permissions. So when bootstrap.sh built Cabal-1.6.0.1 and tried to install it, it could not. I fixed the permissions and ran bootstrap.sh again: It built and registered Cabal-1.6.0.1 correctly this time, but did nothing else, except print the error "Sorry, something went wrong". Running the subsequent script commands manually (to configure, build and install HTTP, zlib, and cabal- install) also did nothing. For instance: {{{ $ runghc Setup configure --user && runghc Setup build && runghc Setup install $ }}} Note the lack of any output whatsoever. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/486> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
