#861: doc/html/frames.html broken on many recent packages ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: liyang | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: HackageDB Component: hackageDB website | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: frames documentation index Difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- For example, this works: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/containers/latest/doc/html/fram… But this doesn't: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/mtl/latest/doc/html/frames.html The frames version is rather useful in lieu of Chrome having a sidebar. I'm guessing the original index.html and index-frames.html have been moved (rather than copied) elsewhere.

patch applied (cabal): "Fix withComponentsLBI and move Components to LocalBuildInfo module" and 1 others
by Duncan Coutts 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

Thu Jul 7 18:21:22 PDT 2011 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)community.haskell.org> * Fix withComponentsLBI and move Components to LocalBuildInfo module An annoyance of the current Simple build system is that each phase (build, install, etc) can be passed additional HookedBuildInfo which gets merged into the PackageDescription. This means that we cannot process the PackageDescription up front at configure time and just store and reuse it later, we have to work from it each time afresh. The recent addition of Components (libs, exes, test suites) and a topoligical sort of the components in the LocalBuildInfo fell foul of this annoyance. The LocalBuildInfo stored the entire component which meant they were not updated with the HookedBuildInfo. This broke packages with custom Setup.hs scripts that took advantage of the HookedBuildInfo feature, including those with configure scripts. The solution is to store not the list of whole components but the list of component names. Then withComponentsLBI retrieves the actual components from the PackageDescription which thus includes the HookedBuildInfo. Also moved the Components into an internal module because (for the moment at least) it is part of the Simple build system, not part of the package description.

#543: ghc global package db should live in /var not /usr ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: nr | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: Linux | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment(by duncan): Note of course that following the `./configure` file layout convention and having relocatable packages are orthogonal. It is still possible to `./configure` and put everything under one prefix (e.g. /opt/ghc-x.y/). Then whether ghc defaults to one or the other scheme is up to the packager. Generic binary tarballs should probably be relocatable and self contained, while Linux distros will continue to use their current scheme. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/543#comment:4> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
