patch applied (cabal): Convert from PackageIndex to PackageSet

Sun Jul 20 12:49:24 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Convert from PackageIndex to PackageSet Turns out the feature to do case-insensitive lookups was only needed in cabal-install (and only in one little part) and elsewhere it causes problems. So use PackageSet instead.

patch applied (cabal): Generate expanded makefile rules directly, rather than using $(eval ...)

Sun Jul 20 12:48:01 PDT 2008 Ian Lynagh <igloo(a)earth.li> * Generate expanded makefile rules directly, rather than using $(eval ...) We used to do this with $(eval ...) and $(call ...) in the Makefile, but make 3.79.1 (which is what comes with msys) doesn't understand $(eval ...), so now we just stick the expanded loop directly into the Makefile we generate.

It would not be per-package of course so I don't think it makes sense to put it in package registration files. Duncan

They use \\ when using Haskell String format. When not then windows accepts both \ and / as path separators, it's not an escape char. > - some entries are URLs, some entries are path names Yeah, that's not good. > - the entry for the ghc package is a lie (the html/ directory > doesn't exist, and the doc/html/libraries/ directory has > no ghc package docs) Blame the ghc build system :-) > - while the paths for the core and extra libraries are strictly > speaking correct, there is no indication that all of them > have been integrated into a unified index (one level up), > in contrast to the addon packages, which have their own > indices > > It would be helpful if the consistency and usefulness of this > data could be improved, eg, cabal always using '/' and be > consistent in its escape strategy, ghc and cabal using either > all URLs or all path names, not adding paths for non-existing > docs, and having some indication of whether the package docs > have been integrated into some global documentation index. Cabal uses whatever path the user tells us to use. Whenever Cabal makes up its own paths it uses the standard path separator for the platform. When the path contains spaces it has to use the String format because space is a field separator. So the problems as I see it are why the core packages are using urls. It's not strictly necessary for ghc-pkg to know where index files are that cover various packages but it would be nice to do something better there. People ask for Cabal to maintain an index over all packages though it's not clear where it should put this. Duncan
