#388: Add a warning for unknown modules that were compiled ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: jcpetruzza | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.3 Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Let's say you are working on a new version of a library; you add a new internal (i.e. non-exposed) module but you forget to update the package description. You locally test your changes, everything works fine so you install it. Now, since the new module is not listed in {{{other-modules}}} it will not be included in the final library. Therefore, when you try to use it you get rather cryptic linker errors. It can take a while until you realize where the problem is coming from. The proposal is to look, during build, for compiled modules under the {{{dist}}} directory that are not included in the final library and warn the user about their presence. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/388 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
