#891: Allow unknown fields in .cabal with X- at front ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: zzo38 | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: miscellaneous | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) | Ghcversion: Platform: | ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- I have suggestion allowing unknown fields in a .cabal file, and if they are named with X- at front, they will not have warning message, and will be ignored if they are not understand. It should also do similar thing with sections named with X- at front, where, it if it doesn't understand that section, it ignore entire section with no warning/error (regardless of field names), but if it can use that section, it is still warnings for unknown fields in that section without X- at front. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/891 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
