#390: add cabal unpack command ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) Ghcversion: 6.8.3 | Platform: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by Saizan): I've needed this command a lot lately, so i've written this patch. There are 2 TODOs there since i wasn't sure what was best from an UI pov: * When no precise version is specified it defaults to the latest that match, should we also take the packagePreferences field in consideration here? * Currently it ignores exceptions (however if something goes wrong the functions involved still print error messages), summarizing failures at the end like in 'cabal install' is probably what we want. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/390#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
