Hi.
What is the purpose of the "install" command's "--only" flag? The documentation says "Only installs the package in the current directory", but this is already supported by running "cabal install" in the current directory without arguments. Would it be fine if I removed "--only"?
No, please do not remove it. Running install without --only causes all sorts of things to happen, because install is the magic command. The --only flag is for use after you have already run build and really only does the installation, i.e. It behaves comparable to Setup install. Cheers, Andres
