Relocable packages with library
by Krasimir Angelov 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

Hi, I have a package that contains one library, one executable and a number of data files. If the package contains only executables then the generated Paths_<pkgid>.hs on Windows uses the executable location in order to calculate the datadir, libdir, etc directories. This is useful feature if someone wants relocable binary distributions. If the package has library then these directories are fixed. The initial reason was that many executables might be linked to this library and they should share the same data files. This usually makes sense but sometimes it is also useful to have library with relocable data directory. In this case it will be relative to the location where the executable linked with it is installed. If several executables are linked with the same library then they can be installed in one directory and they still will be able to share the common data directory. This is currently the common situation, since all executables are installed in "c:\Program Files\Haskell\bin". I already experienced the problem with haddock-2.0 where the precompiled binary expects that some files are installed in "C:\builds\haddock-2\install\haddock-2.0.0.0\html" which is wrong of course. Now I strike the same problem with another package. I propose to either add flag to configure saying that directories in Paths_<pkgid>.hs should be relative or to make them relative in all cases. What do you think? Regards, Krasimir

Cabal-1.4: library-dirs and include-dirs missing from package description after install
by Alistair Bayley 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

I'm trying to build and install Takusen 0.8.2 with a new .cabal and Setup, using Cabal-1.4.0.0. The Setup program writes out an updated Takusen.buildinfo (below) from the postConf hook. However, the library-dirs and include-dirs fields are not included in the package description when installed. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

[Hackage] #298: Local build logs
by Hackage 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

#298: Local build logs ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ As a user of cabal-install, I would like build logs which are organized slightly differently than the logs which are to be used for reporting back to hackage. In particular: * The local build log should have accurate timestamps; for anonymity purposes the reporting logs should not have timestamps. * The local build log should not partition logs per-server. * The local build log should also track things installed from source using cabal-install which may have been obtained somewhere other than a hackage server. Since the different types of logs have different purposes, it makes sense to add separate local logging capabilities (thus duplicating some information) rather than trying to shoehorn both purposes into the same log format. A simple way to start would be to copy Hackage/Reporting.hs to Hackage/Logging.hs and tweak. Later, things could be refactored to pull out common code. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/298> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

patch applied (cabal): Add PackageSet, like PackageIndex but case sensitive
by Duncan Coutts 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

Fri Jun 13 17:37:05 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Add PackageSet, like PackageIndex but case sensitive Actually it turns out that we don't need case insensitivity in many cases, mosty just for simple lookups in the UI. For everything else the ordinary Ord instance is much simpler. The fact that listing the contents of a PackageIndex doesn't come out in Ord order actually causes real problems in cabal-install and necessitates re-sorting. So we should move to using PackageSet in most cases and just leave the search and lookup operations in PackageIndex.
