#700: seemingly too liberal behaviour on overlapping dependency constraints across packages ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: kowey | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.6.0.3 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by mornfall): As for solution 1, is there a way to use C finalizers without having C code (and C symbols)? The workaround is what we already did (we copied the mmap dependency from hashed-storage into darcs.cabal), but I don't think it fixed all version mixups (see also http://irclog.perlgeek.de/darcs/2010-06-14#i_2434140). Would solution 2 involve manual renaming of all C symbols in each version? (That is quite inconvenient and error-prone...) The C functions are supposed to be private, so maybe a hiding solution would work better? Is that doable with current Cabal? -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/700#comment:5 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
