#380: Ability to blacklist packages that are on hackage ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: cabal-install-0.8 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: hard (< 1 day) Ghcversion: 6.8.3 | Platform: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by duncan): * keywords: wishlist blacklist => * difficulty: normal => hard (< 1 day) * type: defect => enhancement * milestone: => cabal-install-0.8 Comment: We seem mostly to have given up the pluggable solver interface. It now is explicitly given a set of constraints. The obvious thing to do is to attach reasons to each of the input constraints. Blacklisting could be one such thing. Avoiding broken packages similarly. See also #470. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/380#comment:2 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
