#193: add a --with-package-conf= flag to configure ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.4 Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) Ghcversion: 6.8.1 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * difficulty: normal => easy (<4 hours) Comment: {{{ Sun Jan 13 23:25:36 GMT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan@haskell.org> * Add configure --package-db= flag to use specific package db Should allow satisfying deps from the given package db and should register into that db. It is not thoroughly tested however. }}} See also: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cabal- devel/2008-January/001927.html It still needs proper testing and documenting in the user guide. Marking this remaining task as easy. We should also consider if the --user and --global flags to the install and register commands still make sense with the slight change in semantics of those flags in the configure step. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/193#comment:3> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
