Hi Thomas.
would install all network's dependencies (but not their tests), then build, test, and install network. It didn't change how dependencies were handled at all. However, the test runner in Cabal wasn't designed to be invoked from cabal-install: it sometimes exits on success, which cabal-install interprets as an error, even when it isn't. This was stopping packages without tests from being installed with 'cabal install --enable-tests', which shouldn't happen.
Actually, the new solver will filter out --enable-tests for packages that don't define any. If the old solver could do the same, would that be an alternative to patch the Cabal lib? Cheers, Andres -- Andres Löh, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, http://www.well-typed.com
