#393: Allow --preference= flags for soft constraints ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: cabal-install-0.6 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) | Ghcversion: 6.8.3 Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ `cabal install` now uses soft preferences from a `preferred-versions` file in the hackage index. It would sometimes be useful to also be able to specify these on the command line. It shouldn't be too hard since the solver already accepts such soft- constraints. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/393 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
