#823: Accessing the package version from within the package ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: basvandijk | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment(by AntoineLatter): Maybe I'm miss-understanding, but this feature already exists exactly as you've described. Paths_$pkgname.version :: Version is exported by default. I'm not sure in which version it was introduced, and the user guide makes no mention of the feature. Here's the code in 1.10: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.0.2/html/libraries/Cabal-1.10.1.0/src /Distribution-Simple-Build-PathsModule.html -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/823#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
