How does this interact with keeping multiple compilers/versions side by side? maybe we should have a world file for each one and be able to install
#199: when installing a new version of GHC, there should be a way to upgrade my packages ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.8 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: Linux ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by duncan): Replying to [comment:6 Saizan]: the packages in world-compiler1 using compiler2 There being just one world file is a feature, not a bug :-). It means that moving between compilers is easy. It's not likely that you want some things in one but not another. What is more likely is that there are some things that simply cannot be installed with an older version. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/199#comment:7 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
