[Hackage] #802: copy command should not overwrite files
by Hackage 05 Jan '12

#802: copy command should not overwrite files ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- see http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4955 Cabal can inadvertently get users into situations where they have registered packages that do not match their package registration information. Consider the package darcs and darcs-fastconvert which depends on the darcs library. If one installs darcs, then later in the darcs build tree do a `cabal copy` then it will overwrite the library .hi files but not update the library registration. This will mean that subsequent builds of darcs-fastconvert will fail with very confusing error messages (see the ghc ticket above). A similar thing could happen with inplace registrations. The suggestion to avoid this problem is for `cabal copy` to refuse to overwrite .hi files (executables are fine). This is also partly related to #645 because some people are using `cabal copy` to avoid having to use `cabal install` which spends too long reconfiguring and checking nothing needs building before actually installing. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/802> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

[Hackage] #836: Provide the state of Cabal flags in an auto-generated module

#836: Provide the state of Cabal flags in an auto-generated module ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: lemming | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.10.0.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- I would like to query the state of cabal flags at configure time without CPP hackery. I would prefer to import an autogenerated module, that contains Bool variables with the names of the Cabal flags, just like the Paths module contains the paths of installed data files. For instance if my Cabal file contains {{{ Flag buildExamples description: Build example executables default: False Flag buildTests description: Build test suite default: True Flag debug description: Compile with debug messages default: False }}} and I install the package by {{{ $ cabal install -fdebug }}} then the autogenerated module shall contain {{{ module Flags_mypkg where -- | Build example executables buildExamples :: Bool buildExamples = False -- | Build test suite buildTests :: Bool buildTests = True -- | Compile with debug messages debug :: Bool debug = True }}} Maybe this feature would also solve #778. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/836> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
