[Don't pass cc-options to Haskell compilations
Simon Marlow **20080821133421
This has no effect with GHC 6.9, and with earlier GHC's it was a
misuse of cc-options.

[Don't propagate cc-options to the InstalledPackageInfo
Simon Marlow **20080821132551
cc-options is for options to be passed to C compilations in the
current package. If we propagate those options to the
InstalledPackageInfo, they get passed to C compilations in any package
that depends on this one, which could be disastrous. I've seen
cc-options like these:
cc-options: -optc-std=c99
cc-options: -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
Cc-options: -Wall
these are all clearly intended to be local, but are in fact currently
propagated to all dependent packages.

[Catch exit exceptions as well as IO exceptions after running programs
Ian Lynagh **20080813213035
We need to catch IO exceptions for things like "couldn't find the program",
but we also need to catch exit exceptions as Cabal uses them to signal
what the program returned.

[Add auto-generated CPP macros for package version testing
Simon Marlow **20080811173016
Now when using CPP you get
MIN_VERSION_<package>(A,B,C)
for each <package> in build-depends, which is true if the version of
<package> in use is >= A.B.C, using the normal ordering on version
numbers.
This is done by auto-generating a header file
dist/build/autogen/cabal_macros.h, and passing a -include flag when
running CPP.

Duncan Coutts **20080730165031]
[Add an "exposed" field to the .cabal file library section
Duncan Coutts **20080730164516
It's a bool flag that says if by default the library should
be registered with the compiler as exposed/unhidden (for
compilers which have such a concept, ie ghc). You might want
to do this for packages which would otherwise pollute the
module namespace or clash with other common packages.
It should be very rarely used. The only current examples we
know of are the ghc api package and the dph packages.
]
[Rearrange the Monoid instances for Library, Executable, BuildInfo
Duncan Coutts **20080730163432
No functional change, just moving code about.
We now define the Monoid methods directly rather than in
terms of emptyLibrary, unionLibrary etc.

[Do not use ',' as a list separator for the cpp/cc/ld-options fields
Duncan Coutts **20080729170556
It breaks for some options like "ld-options: -Wl,-z,now"
No existing .cabal files on hackage were using ',' as a
list separator so this should not break anything.

[File globs must match at least one file or it's an error.
Duncan Coutts **20080729154050]
[Fix the semantics of the simple file globbing to be sane
Duncan Coutts **20080729152624
I realised when I started to document it that the behaviour
was not terribly consistent or sensible. The meaning now is:
The limitation is that * wildcards are only allowed in
place of the file name, not in the directory name or
file extension. In particular, wildcards do not include
directories contents recursively. Furthermore, if a
wildcard is used it must be used with an extension, so
"data-files: data/*" is not allowed. When matching a
wildcard plus extension, a file's full extension must
match exactly, so "*.gz" matches "foo.gz" but not
"foo.tar.gz".
The reason for providing only a very limited form of wildcard
is to concisely express the common case of a large number of
related files of the same file type without making it too easy
to accidentally include unwanted files.
]
[Allow $arch and $os in install paths.
Duncan Coutts **20080729151952
Fixes ticket #312. For example a user could use:
cabal configure --libsubdir="$pkgid/$compiler/$arch"
if they wanted to have packages for multiple architectures
co-exist in the same filestore area.
]
[Use "pkg == 1.2.*" as the version wildcard syntax
Duncan Coutts **20080729151612
Rather than "pkg ~ 1.2.*". This seemed to be the consensus.
The syntax "pkg == 1.2.*" means "pkg >= 1.2 && < 1.3" and it
is to encourage people to put upper bounds on api versions.
]
[Pass -no-user-package-conf to ghc when not using UserPackageDB
Duncan Coutts **20080729145040
Should eliminate the corner case where we're doing a global
install but the user package db contains the exact same
version as in the global package db. Perhaps we should warn
in that case anyway since it's likely to go wrong later.

Duncan Coutts **20080720234019
Since we do not need to know if hsc2hs uses ghc or gcc as cc

]
[Always use gcc as cc with hsc2hs
Duncan Coutts **20080720233759
Lookup what flags to use from the package index. Previously this
was done by calling ghc as cc and passing -package flags to ghc.
ghc would then lookup what extra flags to pass to gcc. We now do
that ourselves directly and it's a good deal simpler and it's
portable to the other haskell implementations. This is only a
first go, the flags may not all be exactly right. Needs testing.

Duncan Coutts **20080720194924
Turns out the feature to do case-insensitive lookups was only

Actually it turns out that we don't need case insensitivity in many

the ordinary Ord instance is much simpler. The fact that listing the

causes real problems in cabal-install and necessitates re-sorting.

['.' should not always be in hs-source dirs
Duncan Coutts **20080613230352
We changed the parsing of list fields in the .cabal file so that it
adds to the current value rather than replacing it. This allows you
to put multiple entries for a list field and they all get
concatenated. However that means that the '.' in the hsSourceDirs of
emptyBuildInfo is always added to and not replaced like we did
previously. That's not what we want in this case. We want to use '.'
for hsSourceDirs *only* if hsSourceDirs is otherwise null. As it
happens, due to the way the configurations code works, we're already
filling in the default if it'd otherwise be null so we do not need
'.' in the emptyBuildInfo at all.

Duncan Coutts **20080520191700
The user guide gets built in two different ways. There's a target

the ghc build system uses. The ghc build system expects to copy in
doc/fptools.css and then delete it again on make clean. We want a
persistent copy so that we can make the docs when we've just got a
standalone Cabal build tree, so that's now kept as doc/Cabal.css.

Duncan Coutts **20080429201123
For bool valued flags we were always producing the command line
string corresponding to a false flag value, even if the flag was

It is important for cabal-install to be able to take an empty set
of flags, override a few flags and turn the flags back into
command line strings without getting a lot of extra defaults.
Partly this is because we have to work with older versions of the
Cabal library command line which does not recognise the new options.

eg if you had:

Only applies to list fields, for single fields the second value is taken
and the first is silently discarded. This isn't good of course but the
fix is harder since we're not in a context where we can report errors.
Really we should just declare up front what kind of field it is and
inherit the right behaviour automagically, either duplicates disallowed

Previously we rejected all such flags but that posed the problem that older

could not actually follow the advice and use the extenion. So now we only
warn about -X flags if they refer to old extensions that Cabal 1.1.6 knew
about. If the .cabal file specifies cabal-version: >= 1.2 or similar
(anything that excludes 1.1.6) then we warn about all -X flags.

There were two reasons to do this. Firstly, this formulation makes it

Secondly, with the orgininal algorithm it was possible to satisfy the
constraint "foo < 1, foo > 2" if we had two versions of package "foo"

the same package to satisfy both constraints (which of course is

[Check for the required cabal version early in parsing
Duncan Coutts **20080409154655
Previously we only checked the "cabal-version" field after parsing
and all other configure processing. If the package really needs a
later Cabal version it is of course highly likely that parsing or
configure are going to fail and the user is not going to get the
helpful error message about the version of Cabal required. So now
we do the check early during parsing. If a later version is
required and parsing subsequently fails, we now report the version
issue, not the subsequent parse error. If parsing succeeds we
still issue a warning which should be a useful hint to the user if
subsequent configure processing fails.

[Parse Bool fields using more cunning, allow new parses with a warning
Duncan Coutts **20080327213411
We want to allow case-insensitive parsing however we don't want
packages being uploaded to hackage that will break older versions of
Cabal. If we allow new valid parses then we will end up breaking
stuff. So what we really want to do is allow new parses but warn if
they're not ones that older versions of Cabal would have allowed. So
long as hackage rejects pakcages that have parse warnings then we can
prevent new .cabal files appearing on hackage that would break older
Cabal versions. Our current parser (ReadP) does not support warnings
so we have to handle the bool fields specially in the parser wrapper
layer that we added to handle errors and warnings. This can go away
when we use a parser with support for error and warning messages.
]
[Add scripts for testing compatability with hackage packages

So far just a test that all the non-trivial Setup.(l)hs scripts

to download a complete archive then one could test them all.
To speed up the check we skip Setup.hs scripts that have fewer
than 22 words. Below this cutoff there are no custom hooks and
it catches the great majority of scripts which greatly speeds up
the check.

[Rename various *Verbose fields to *Verbosity instead
Duncan Coutts **20080327034815
Despite appearances this is actually not completely pointless.
For the Cabal-1.4 branch we need the *Verbose fields to have the
same types as they did in Cabal-1.2, becuase lots of Setup.hs
scripts use them and our change to make them all have type Flag
makes many Setup.hs scripts fail. A solution for the 1.4 branch
is to rename the real field and to add the old field back in.
To keep as much similarity as possible between the HEAD and 1.4
branches I'm applying the name change in both.
On the plus side it's a better name anyway.
]
[Make UTF-8 decoding errors in .cabal files non-fatal
Duncan Coutts **20080327031740
Previously we checked for invalid UTF-8 in the first phase of the
parser, which splitting the file up into nested sections and fields.
This meant the whole parser falls over if there is invalid UTF-8
anywhere in the file. Sadly there are already packages on hackage
with invalid UTF-8 so we would fail when parsing the hackage index.
The solution is to move the check into the parsing of the individual
fields and making it a warning not an error. We most typically get
invalid UTF-8 in free text fields like author name, copyright,
description etc so this should work out ok usually.
We now get pretty decent error messages, like:
Warning: hsx.cabal:5: Invalid UTF-8 text in the 'author' field.
The warning type is now structured so that hackage will be able to
distinguish general non-fatal warnings from UTF-8 decoding problems
which really should be fatal errors for package uploads.

[Separate the OS/Arch classifiation used for different purposes
Duncan Coutts **20080327005321
We have to classify System.Info.{os,arch} strings into the OS and Arch
enums. For that purpose we have to be quite permissive since there are
lots of ailases that the various Haskell implementations use. However
for parsing os and arch names in .cabal files we'd prefer to use
canonical names, though we do have to allow the couple aliases already
in common use.

Duncan Coutts **20080327004631
That is the arch and os strings in conditionals in .cabal files, like:

Previously the parser used isAlphaNum c || (c `elem` "_-"). This is
crucial for arch names like "x86_64". So make the new parser for OS
and Arch types use the same string parser as before (there is a string
parse part and a separate classification of known OS/Arch values).
