#697: Add "cabal build-dep" command ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: igloo | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: HEAD Severity: major | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ The [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/HackageTesting hackage testing tool] needs a "cabal build-dep" command to work. I had an inadequate patch that was good enough for my experiments (http://osdir.com/ml/cabal-devel@haskell.org/2010-01/msg00029.html), but lack the familiarity with the cabal-install design necessary to implement it properly. Sadly, the patch no longer applies to cabal-install HEAD, and regardless, it would make things a lot easier if it Just Worked out of the box. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/697 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
