#697: Add "cabal build-dep" command ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: igloo | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: HEAD Severity: major | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ The [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/HackageTesting hackage testing tool] needs a "cabal build-dep" command to work. I had an inadequate patch that was good enough for my experiments (http://osdir.com/ml/cabal-devel@haskell.org/2010-01/msg00029.html) but lack the familiarity with the cabal-install design necessary to implement it properly. Sadly, the patch no longer applies to cabal-install HEAD, and regardless, it would make things a lot easier if it Just Worked out of the box. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/697> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

I played around with passing `--package-db ../dist/package.conf.inplace` to `configure` when configuring `tests/suite.cabal` without success. A `tests/README` file would be very useful. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/693> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

#778: ConfigFlags { configConfigurationsFlags } field should contain flags which are defined in .cabal file, but aren't specified in command line with -flags=... ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: nartamonov | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: 6.12.3 Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- I have custom Flag declaration in .cabal file: Flag debug Description: Build with debug support Default: True and some conditionals (if flag(debug) ...) which depend on this flag. In custom Setup.hs I use data structure Distribution.Simple.Setup.ConfigFlags and its field configConfigurationsFlags to get value of 'debug' flag. But it seems that field contains flag entry only when I explicitly mention flag during configuration phase in command line with '-fdebug' or '-- flags=debug'. I think it is wrong because even if I don't mention flag in command line he will be initialized to True and conditionals (in *.cabal) which depend on it will be evaluated according to this default value. It would be awesome if I could access flag with its implicitly assigned value via ConfigFlags { configConfigurationsFlags }. My custom Setup.hs machinery heavily depends on values of such flags, and it is inconvenient to explicitly define all of them via command line during configuration phase. Thanks. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/778> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
