We also need to specify exactly what we mean and want by a binary distribution. Would it be relocatable for example? What would the resulting tarball look like? What would be the procedure to install such a package. Is there really a great need for this in the light of tools that can generate distro packages like rpm, deb, ebuild etc. Needs more design discussion and someone to implement it. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/47#comment:3> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

There is already a list command for cabal-install but it lists uninstalled packages. Probably it should list all packages, installed and otherwise with an indication of whether they are installed or not. There should perhaps also be a flag to ask to list just installed. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/106#comment:3> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

[Fwd: [Haskell-cafe] Fun with Cabal on Windows! [Stream fusion for Hackage]]
by Thomas Schilling 20 Nov '07

[See attached message for full report. Short version: Cabal error message on win32: "Setup: ld is required but it could not be found." Solution: add $ghc_path/gcc-lib to searched paths for ld and co. -or-: advise people to add it to their PATH var. ] I have no Windows system, but would is this worth a bug-fix for Cabal? Or has it already been fixed? / Thomas

(No)MonoPatBinds
by Ian Lynagh 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

Hi all, Does this patch: [The extension is NoMonoPatBinds not MonoPatBinds Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org>**20071109142217] { hunk ./Language/Haskell/Extension.hs 107 - | MonoPatBinds + | NoMonoPatBinds } break the GHC >= 6.8 extension handling? My memory is that we allow the strings Foo and NoFoo, for each extension constructor Foo. I'm not sure if anyone would ever want to specify the default (e.g. NoCPP) in a Cabal file, though. Thanks Ian
