#891: Allow unknown fields in .cabal with X- at front ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: zzo38 | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: miscellaneous | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) | Ghcversion: Platform: | ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- I have suggestion allowing unknown fields in a .cabal file, and if they are named with X- at front, they will not have warning message, and will be ignored if they are not understand. It should also do similar thing with sections named with X- at front, where, it if it doesn't understand that section, it ignore entire section with no warning/error (regardless of field names), but if it can use that section, it is still warnings for unknown fields in that section without X- at front. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/891> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

[Hackage] #890: Base library build fails with detailed build reporting

#890: Base library build fails with detailed build reporting ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: batterseapower | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ If you turn on detailed build reports with `--build-log=foo.log` then cabal-install uses the external setup method for a package rather than the internal setup method. If you try to use the external setup method with the "base" package then compiling the setup executable like this fails: {{{ /usr/bin/ghc -v --make ./dist/setup/setup.hs -o ./dist/setup/setup -odir ./dist/setup -hidir ./dist/setup -i -i. -package-conf /Users/mbolingbroke/Programming/Checkouts/hackage-server/hackage-build /build-cache/local.conf.d -package Cabal-1.10.2.0 }}} The reason is that the base package exports a Prelude module which is erroneously picked up when compiling Setup.hs in preference to the Prelude exported by the installed base library. This manifests as: {{{ *** Chasing dependencies: Chasing modules from: *dist/setup/setup.hs Prelude.hs:38:2: lexical error at character 'i' }}} (Because the Prelude in the base module uses CPP) -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/890> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

While we can't guarantee that an added constructor doesn't conflict with data declarations used in every Setup.hs, it seems in poor form to export the same constructor in two types in the same library. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/739> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
