patch applied (cabal): Always build ar files with indexes

Sun May 31 12:34:12 PDT 2009 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Always build ar files with indexes Since we have to be able to use these inplace we always need the index it's not enough to just make the index on installing.

Sun May 31 12:25:45 PDT 2009 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Make rendering the ghc package db stack more lenient Allow the user package db to appear after a specific one.

patch applied (cabal): Use the PackageDbStack in the local build info and compiler modules
by Duncan Coutts 31 May '09

31 May '09

Sun May 31 08:31:24 PDT 2009 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Use the PackageDbStack in the local build info and compiler modules This lets us pass a whole stack of package databases to the compiler. This is more flexible than passing just one and working out what other dbs that implies. This also lets us us more than one specific package db, which we need for the inplace package db use case.

[Hackage] #525: The install functions copy N executables N times

#525: The install functions copy N executables N times ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: np | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD Severity: major | Keywords: Difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- The patch: Fri Aug 24 17:27:49 CEST 2007 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Only create includes and bin dirs if necessary For includes, don't list the include dir in the package registration info unless we're actually going to install some include files. So we should create fewer pointless empty directories. See bug #97. in particular this hunk: -GHC.installExe verbosity binPref buildPref pkg_descr +withExe pkg_descr $ \_ -> + GHC.installExe verbosity binPref buildPref pkg_descr introduced a bug in the case of packages with multiple executables (notable h4sh has 42 executables, leading to 1764 calls to cp/strip). The withExe is performed twice, once here and once in Dist.Simple.GHC. I attach a simple patch that fixes this problem by using hasExes insted of withExe. Doing the same with 'withLib' in case of future multiple libraries and renaming 'withExe' to 'withExes' would be nice also use these patches as you wish. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/525> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
