#199: when installing a new version of GHC, there should be a way to upgrade my packages ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: Linux | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ If I have version 6.6 of GHC installed, with packages foo, bar, and bang, and I install ghc 6.8, I'd like a way to automatically install foo, bar, and bang. This could be part of GHC's installation script possibly, or maybe a feature of cabal install. cabal can check the installed packages for the previous version of GHC and "cabal install" them. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/199 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
