#488: Include links to GHC documentation in packages' haddock docs --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: SamB | Owner: Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: hackageDB website | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: unknown Ghcversion: | Platform: --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by duncan): Replying to [comment:4 duncan]: base-4.0.0.0, so now there's a base page. I'll put up the docs for the other two later.
Ok, lets see what happens. :-)
One bug: {{{ $ cabal install base --dry-run Resolving dependencies... cabal: Distribution/Client/Dependency/TopDown.hs:168:37-73: Non-exhaustive patterns in lambda }}} However that's not an immediate problem since it only happens when you explicitly ask to install base. Doing and ordinary install/upgrade does not try to upgrade base, though the error messages could be improved: With the released cabal-install: {{{ $ cabal install syb --dry-run -w ghc-6.8.2 Resolving dependencies... cabal: cannot configure syb-0.1.0.0. It requires base >=4.0 There is no available version of base that satisfies >=4.0 }}} That's because in the released version we simply ignore base in the available package set. In the current darcs version: {{{ $ cabal install syb --dry-run -w ghc-6.8.2 Resolving dependencies... cabal: cannot configure syb-0.1.0.0. It requires base >=4.0 For the dependency on base >=4.0 there are these packages: base-4.0.0.0. However none of them are available. base-4.0.0.0 was excluded because of the top level dependency base -any }}} The constraint here was on picking an installed version of base (there's no version constraint). But we're not printing that properly. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/488#comment:5 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
