#216: need a way to specify the foreign libraries a package depends on ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: ross(a)soi.city.ac.uk | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: major | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: Linux | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Package descriptions allow one to specify which Haskell libraries a package depends on, but foreign ones. Designing something that can be used with native package managers is complicated because many of them alter the upstream library names in unpredictable ways. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/216> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

#529: sdist creation code currently doesn't work with Solaris's tar ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: igloo | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Cabal's sdist creation code currently doesn't work on Solaris. The code (in Cabal's Distribution/Simple/SrcDist.hs) is: {{{ let tarBallFilePath = targetPref </> tarBallName pkg_descr <.> "tar.gz" rawSystemProgram verbosity tarProg ["-C", tmpDir, "-czf", tarBallFilePath, tarBallName pkg_descr] return tarBallFilePath }}} but it looks like we need this instead: {{{ let tarFilePath = targetPref </> tarBallName pkg_descr <.> "tar" tarBallFilePath = tarFilePath <.> "gz" rawSystemProgram verbosity tarProg ["-cf", tarFilePath, "-C", tmpDir, tarBallName pkg_descr] rawSystemProgram verbosity gzipProg [tarFilePath] removeFile tarFilePath return tarBallFilePath }}} Note that we don't actually tell gzip where to put the output, but I can't see a way to do so without messing with stdout. See http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3106 for more details on the problems. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/529> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
