#578: Allow installation of distro packages ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: bos | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: _|_ Component: cabal-install tool | Version: Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: project(> week) Ghcversion: | Platform: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by duncan): Replying to [comment:2 nomeata]:
What if information from /var/lib/ghc-6.10.4/./package.conf would be available even for yet-uninstalled distro packages, e.g. the complete value of InstalledPackageInfo. Would the task them become handleable?
Yes. That would be more than sufficient. If that's easiest then fine, otherwise the minimum required is the complete dependency graph of exact package versions. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/578#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
