#655: for every install there should be an uninstall ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: nr | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: uninstall Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by nr): This is still an issue. I am having a dependency problem with pads- haskell-0.2 and haskell-src-meta-0.4. haskell-src-meta-0.4 depends on haskell-src-exts in the range 1.6 to 1.0. But with haskell-src-exts-1.9, pads-haskell will not build. With haskell-src-exts-1.10.2, pads-haskell will build. My machine has *both* versions of haskell-src-exts. But I cannot add the higher dependency to pads-haskell.cabal without extensive bleating. There is clearly an underlying dependency problem here that ought to be addressed, but my immediate concern is to get software to build. If 'cabal uninstall' existed, I could uninstall the older packages and continue. As it is, the only way I know to make progress is to remove all of ~/.cabal and start over. Not a good model. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/655#comment:3> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

patch applied (cabal-branches/cabal-1.10): "Reimplement createDirectoryIfMissingVerbose to use sensible file permissions"
by Duncan Coutts 17 May '11

17 May '11

Tue May 17 05:01:05 PDT 2011 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)community.haskell.org> * Reimplement createDirectoryIfMissingVerbose to use sensible file permissions Hopefully should fix ghc ticket #4982. The problem was permissions on directories: previously we used ordinary createDirectory and on unix this creates dirs using the current user's umask. If the root user has a silly umask then someone doing sudo install will end up with dirs that are not readable by non-root users. So the solution is to do the same as we do with files: override the umask and explicitly set the file permissions based on the kind of file: ordinary file, executable file and now also directory. Sadly we also had to re-implement createDirectoryIfMissing to use our new createDirectory wrapper function.

Add FreeBSD Distribution Information to Hackage?
by PÁLI Gábor János 15 May '11

15 May '11

Hi, I am happy announce that FreeBSD has finally caught up with other distributions and now it includes 162 nearly-up-to-date Cabal packages and Haskell Platform in the Ports Collection [1], and it has about 40 more ports in preparation [2]. To celebrate this, I wrote up a tiny script that maintains a distromap [3] on a daily basis. Is there a way to include this information on Hackage? Thank you in advance. Cheers, Gabor (on behalf of the FreeBSD Haskell Team) [1] http://www.freshports.org/haskell [2] https://github.com/freebsd-haskell/freebsd-haskell [3] http://people.freebsd.org/~pgj/haskell/hackage/FreeBSD
