ANNOUNCE: Cabal 1.2.0 released
by Thomas Schilling 07 Sep '07

07 Sep '07

The Haskell Cabal The Common Architecture for Building Applications and Libraries. <http://www.haskell.org/cabal> We are pleased to announce that Cabal version 1.2.0 is now available. Changes: The major new feature in this release is support for Cabal configurations. This allows package authors to more easily adopt their package descriptions to different system parameters such as operating system, architecture, or compiler. In addition, some optional features may be enabled or disabled explicitly by the package user. Many other new features and tool support has been added, among others: - Support for hscolour (haddock links to coloured source code). - Support for pkg-config (allows specifying dependencies on many C libraries). - Specification of build-tool dependencies. - Better default installation paths on Windows. - Seperate "includes" and "install-includes" fields - Install paths can be specified relative to each other. - Many more new small features, command line flags and bugfixes. For a more exhaustive list, see http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/rc/changelog Please note that this is a .0 release, so we would appreciate any feedback or bug reports. Note also, that the hooks API changed, so it's quite likely that many non-trivial Setup.[l]hs files will break. We hope, however, that much of those files' functionality can now be expressed using configurations. This version (or a bug fix update) will be included in GHC version 6.8.1. For other Haskell implementations or older versions of GHC you can install it separately: Download: http://www.haskell.org/cabal/download.html http://haskell.org/cabal/release/rc/cabal-1.2.0.tar.gz Documentation: http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/rc/doc/users-guide/ http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/rc/doc/API/Cabal See both the README file and the changelog for interface changes: http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/rc/changelog Bugs: Report bugs using our bug tracker: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/newticket or at the libraries(a)haskell.org (please CC to cabal-devel(a)haskell.org) mailing list (note that this is subscriber only).

Cabal repos and branches
by Duncan Coutts 06 Sep '07

06 Sep '07

Just to clarify things for all Cabal hackers with commit access to darcs.haskell.org: We have a number of Cabal branches: (using darcs ssh push style urls) Cabal HEAD: darcs.haskell.org:/srv/darcs/cabal Cabal 1.2 branch: darcs.haskell.org:/srv/darcs/cabal-branches/cabal-1.2 GHC HEAD's copy of Cabal: darcs.haskell.org:/srv/darcs/packages/Cabal The Cabal HEAD repo is where new patches should go. If you have access to darcs.haskell.org and you don't think your patch needs wider review then you can just push to this repo. The other two repos are used by versions of GHC and the GHC nightly builds. It's important not to break GHC builds so any patches pushed to these repos requires running the GHC validate test first. The Cabal 1.2 branch is uses by the GHC 6.8 branch and the other one is used by GHC HEAD. So of course you'd have to run the validate script for the appropriate GHC branch. The easiest thing to do is ignore the second two branches and just target Cabal HEAD and let other GHC and Cabal maintainers migrate patches from Cabal HEAD to the other repos as appropriate. Though if you think a patch should go to the Cabal-1.2 branch you should probably say so. Clear as mud? Duncan
