[Hackage] #924: symlink-bindir does not play nice with program-suffix

#924: symlink-bindir does not play nice with program-suffix ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.14.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: symlink-bindir program-suffix Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: 7.4.1 Platform: Linux | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ I'd expect symlinks to be created with the program-suffix. Instead what happens is that cabal-install correctly suffixes the installed binary, but attempts to create a symlink to it from an unsuffixed name, which can fail if the unsuffixed name already exists in the symlink-bindir. {{{ ~ $ cabal --version cabal-install version 0.13.3 using version 1.14.0 of the Cabal library }}} Example: {{{ gruff $ cabal install --program-suffix=-fixed ...[snip]... Warning: could not create a symlink in /home/claude/opt/bin for gruff because the file exists there already but is not managed by cabal. You can create a symlink for this executable manually if you wish. The executable file has been installed at /home/claude/.cabal/bin/gruff-fixed }}} (The symlink already existed in this particular case, because I wanted to install my development program with a suffix to avoid clobbering the known working version.) -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/924> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

[Hackage] #926: bootstrap.sh with --global ignores PREFIX

#926: bootstrap.sh with --global ignores PREFIX ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: milkypostman | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.10.2.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- If you run the bootstrap for cabal-install and specify `--global`, the script ignores the PREFIX environment variable. This means that it's impossible to install anywhere else besides `/usr/local/` using `--global`. Here is a patch. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/926> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
