patch applied (cabal): Fix register --global/--user
by Duncan Coutts 15 May '10

15 May '10

Sat May 15 14:32:04 PDT 2010 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Fix register --global/--user It is a rather silly feature and is not guaranteed to work. Having configured and built using one set of dbs, there's no guarantee you can register into another set. We should probably just remove it.

patch applied (cabal-install): Add initial internal support for more kinds of available package

Mon May 10 20:09:41 PDT 2010 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Add initial internal support for more kinds of available package Previously only named packages from a remote package archive, or the unpacked package in the current directory. Now also add unpacked packages in particular directories, local tarballs and remote tarballs. No support in the user interface or dep planning yet.

[Hackage] #687: Tell haddock about hidden modules

#687: Tell haddock about hidden modules ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.3 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- It would be nice, if Cabal could call Haddock with a list of --hide options according to the Other-Modules list. Currently we have to add {{{{-# OPTIONS_HADDOCK hide #-}}}} to every private module, which is redundant. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/687> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

#199: when installing a new version of GHC, there should be a way to upgrade my packages ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: cabal-install-0.8 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: fixed Keywords: | Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: Linux ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by duncan): * status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: Patch applied along with a couple patches to move the code around and a slight change in behaviour. This will need user testing and feedback to see if the behaviour works OK in practice and if people find it useful. I'm not totally convinced about the file format yet, though it'll do for now. I suspect we'll need to add more config items than version and flags. Perhaps we need to use a format more like the config file and allow additional fields for each package (e.g. lib dirs etc etc). -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/199#comment:11> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
