Hi
I presume this is on Windows. What version of Cabal were you using?
HEAD whenever the original message was sent.
Ok.
Windows is always a safe bet with me :-)
Of course :-)
Bug 1: cabal install worked the first time, running it a second time fails.
Hmm. Nothing obvious from the log and it works for me on Linux. I'll have to try it on Windows.
Its entirely possible its a bug in ghc-pkg rather than cabal. Perhaps those pesky .manifest files are still floating around breaking something.
When I get back from the hackathon I'll give it a go. Could you report it anyway so we don't forget and in case any other windows users can add any details.
Bug 2: Please file a ticket for this one.
Done #266
Thanks.
Bug 3: Cabal upload doesn't work:
$ cabal upload Username: ... Password: ....
You reported this one before and I fixed it:
Yeah, but when I tried again it didn't work still. I wonder why - its possible one of the versions isn't as up to date as I think. Otherwise, it may still be an issue - did you push the patch?
Definitely pushed. You're sure you rebuilt and installed cabal-install? $ cabal upload cabal: the 'upload' command expects one or more .tar.gz packages. $ cabal --version cabal-install version 0.4.6 using version 1.3.10 of the Cabal library
$ cabal upload dist E:\Neil\homeomorphic>cabal upload dist\homeomorphic-0.1.tar.gz Hackage username: NeilMitchell Hackage password: yoda Uploading dist\homeomorphic-0.1.tar.gz... ERROR: dist\homeomorphic-0.1.tar.gz: 400 Error in upload
400 error in upload - not the worlds most helpful error message...
Indeed. There is an error message available but I'm not sure how we get at it. Any ideas Ross?
Another ticket for this one.
#267
Thanks. Ross and Björn have been looking into it which is great.
Cabal upload asks for your password in plain text. That one is security related - you are asking for someones password, and giving the appearance that you aren't overly fussed about keeping it secret.
I'm happy to add that if anyone can figure out the code to do it. It's presumably different on ANSI terminals and the Windows command console.
getChar in a loop? You can always do:
c <- getChar putChar '*'
If you so feel like it. You can even use putStr "\b \b" to move back one character, even on Windows.
But not in emacs :-)
