#340: Deprecate RecordPuns and translate NamedFieldPuns for older ghc ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.6 Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- The `RecordPuns` extension was accidentally added. In ghc-6.10 it will be deprecated and done as an alias for `NamedFieldPuns`. See: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2320 That means people will use `NamedFieldPuns` instead which will then not work with older ghc. Cabal should encourage users to switch to `NamedFieldPuns` but should translate this into `RecordPuns` when calling older ghc versions. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/340 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
