darcs patch: Auto-reconfiguration when .cabal is newer than setup-c...
by Dmitry Astapov 25 Aug '10

1 patch for repository http://darcs.haskell.org/cabal: Wed Aug 25 16:11:06 EEST 2010 Dmitry Astapov <dastapov(a)gmail.com> * Auto-reconfiguration when .cabal is newer than setup-config This patch adds "ConfigFlags" to the "LocalBuildInfo" and reuses them to perform "configureAction" when .cabal file is changed. This has the same effect as re-running "configure" with the most recent used set of options, which should be the sensible thing to do. Closes #294, #477, #309 and #518. This is my first Cabal patch and first post to cabal-devel, so please review carefully ;)

[patch] add a separator before the pid suffix to the tmpdir template
by Jens Petersen 23 Aug '10

23 Aug '10

Currently Cabal just appends the pid directly to the package name-version which makes it hard to see the actual package version number. This patch just inserts a '-' between name-version and pid to make the separation clear. Jens

#728: Rewrite user guide, document cabal-install ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: very hard (<1 week) | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- The Cabal user guide is rather out of date. There is no documentation for the cabal-install tool (which should cover the config file format too). We should also have a man page for cabal-install and perhaps the Cabal file format too. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/728> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

[Hackage] #708: extension list

#708: extension list ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: igloo | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- I was going to add the new `DatatypeContexts` extension to Cabal's extension list, but the datatype confused me. It seems to list the extensions relative to Haskell98 (i.e. `NoFoo` if Foo is H98, `Foo` otherwise), but this seems odd now that we also have a Haskell2010 standard. And does it allow extensions to be toggled on or off, regardless of which way they are listed in the datatype? Also, the haddock comments refer the GHC manual sections, but don't say what version of GHC's manual the numbers refer to. I think it would be better to drop the numbers, rather than having to manually keep them up- to-date - especially as someone might use a Cabal release with a different GHC version. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/708> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
