#601: cabal setup doesn't respect --prefix ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: zooko | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: unknown Ghcversion: | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by zooko): So, it appears to me that if the user specifies {{{--prefix}}} then that should dictate the location of the package database as well as the other files. The use case described here, in which the install script is strictly disallowed from writing outside of its prescribed prefix, should be supported merely by specifying the prefix. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/601#comment:2 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
