patch applied (cabal-install): In cabal list, always display available and installed versions

Tue Jan 13 16:33:29 PST 2009 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * In cabal list, always display available and installed versions Previously we omitted the line if it was not installed, or was not available. However that confused people because it was not obvious that it would list both. Now it shows something like: * foo Latest version available: 1.0 Latest version installed: [ Not installed ] M ./Distribution/Client/List.hs -6 +8 View patch online: http://darcs.haskell.org/cabal-install/_darcs/patches/20090114003329-adfee-…

Tue Jan 13 15:42:29 PST 2009 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * The Read instance for License and InstalledPackageInfo is authoritative It is ghc's optimised InstalledPackageInfo parser that needs updating. rolling back: Fri Dec 12 18:36:22 GMT 2008 Ian Lynagh <igloo(a)earth.li> * Fix Show/Read for License We were ending up with things like InstalledPackageInfo { ... license = LGPL Nothing, ... } i.e. "LGPL Nothing" rather than "LGPL", which we couldn't then read.

[Hackage] #413: cabal --help should report the location of the config file

#413: cabal --help should report the location of the config file ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: cabal-install-0.6 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) | Ghcversion: 6.8.3 Platform: | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- `cabal --help` should report the location of the config file. Perhaps we want some other info command to say what the current interesting bits of config are, like if we're doing global or per-user installs by default, where packages will be installed etc. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/413> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

[Hackage] #452: Improve --help. Add info about installing specific versions and the use of predicates

#452: Improve --help. Add info about installing specific versions and the use of predicates ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.3 Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- It is possible to install a specific version of a package with the following syntax. cabal install <package>-<version> e.g. cabal install haskell-src-exts-0.4.3.1 However, no mention is made of this in the --help. Also, it is possible to use predicates. e.g. cabal install haskell-src- exts<=0.4 to install a particular version of a package. This should also be mentioned in the --help (along with a helpful remind to quote the ">" character with "\>" if you don't want to redirect your output in most shells! -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/452> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
