#290: Cabal does some work behind the back of hooks ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: igloo | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-2.0 Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: very hard (<1 week) Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * difficulty: normal => very hard (<1 week) * milestone: => Cabal-2.0 Comment: The hooks needs replacing. I don't particularly plan to change anything before then. Adding important code to `postConf` is a bit dodgy since old `Setup.hs` scripts do not know that if they override it they have to call the old one. While I admit that I've recently added code to `postConf` so it's no longer `return ()`, that is only checking code, so it's no great loss if it is not run. It doesn't break anything. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/290#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
