#770: cabal is not reading or respecting ~/.cabal/config ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: minor | Keywords: cabal config global directories Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: 6.12.3 Platform: Linux | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment(by duncan): This is quite peculiar. I assume it is something odd in your particular setup or situation, since cabal definitely does read its config file (or very little would work for anyone). Double check a few things: * that your ~/.cabal/config file is readable. * are access timestamps on your system accurate? (may systems are configured with the `noatime` mount option). If you're sure it's not reading it at all, check with `strace`. Attaching your `~/.cabal/config` to this ticket might give us more clues. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/770#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
