#427: how to access temporary build-files/logs? ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: claus | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.3 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by drdozer): So, if build dirs where kept on failure, Cabal would need to tell me the dir, otherwise I will spend for ever tracking it down. Other than that, everything you've said sounds fine. The only open question would be whether cabal should allow you to build when there is a kept directory still extant. If it does not, then this would force you to clean up the directory before proceeding (perhaps with a flag to cabal to tell it to clean up for you). I'm a little worried that we could end up with 20x failed builds lying about otherwise :D -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/427#comment:6 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
