Congratulations! > I'll see if I can do a review of the "detailed" interface this week. This week?! Don't you have better things to do? But yes, a review at some point would be appreciated. The goal is to have something close to what test-framework has always had (ie tree of tests, QC, HUnit, other tests to be lifted in) but using as few language extensions as we can get away with. I also rather like Thomas' pure/impure distinction. It's also important of course to handle things like RNG seeds so that we can reproduce test runs. Duncan

"Cabal ignores ld-options?" - 2011 remix
by Ryan Newton 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Oops, sent this to Cafe but it's more appropriate for cabal-devel. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ryan Newton <rrnewton(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Jan 30, 2011 at 4:54 AM Subject: "Cabal ignores ld-options?" - 2011 remix To: Haskell Cafe <haskell-cafe(a)haskell.org> Hi cafe, I am trying to link a ".a" file built by a separate makefile into my library. GHC has no problem with it, but I need to convince cabal to do it for the package to be hackage-friendly. There's a thread about this back in 2007: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cabal-devel/2007-April/000507.html Is there a method for this now, or is the state of affairs the same as before? Thanks, -Ryan

[Hackage] #722: Data-Files cabal directive should support directories

#722: Data-Files cabal directive should support directories ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: cygnus | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: recursive directories data sdist Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- It should be possible to use the `Data-Files` directive to include whole directories (recursively) in source distributions. In many cases it's impossible or cumbersome to list all of the files one would like to install, and it seems to me that nobody should have to do that if what they really mean is, "install everything in that-data-dir/." In implementation terms, this doesn't strike me as too tricky; after the wildcard parsing that already happens, detect whether the files to be copied are in fact directories and copy them recursively as such. I'm more than willing to hack on this. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/722> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
