#392: Use the constraint solver for cabal configure ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: cabal-install-0.6 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: fixed Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.3 | Platform: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by duncan): * status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: {{{ Sun Jan 25 17:09:51 GMT 2009 Duncan Coutts <duncan@haskell.org> * Make configure use the dependency resolver This means it makes smarter decisions and also decions that are more consistent with those taken by the install command. }}} Currently we do not really use the error message produced by the resolver, we just fall back to doing the old thing. This could be improved if the error messages produced by the resolver were better and took into account broken packages etc. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/392#comment:1> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
