#193: add a --with-package-conf= flag to configure ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.1 Platform: Linux | ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ From http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=317803 {{{ Consider adding a --with-package-conf= flag to the configure command, or the register command. }}} There is partial support for this internally in Cabal, though only for GHC of course. We have to decide if and how we want to present this feature given that it is currently GHC-only. Could it be done in a way that allows other implementations to provide a similar feature in future without us having to change the Cabal user interface? -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/193 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
