#199: when installing a new version of GHC, there should be a way to upgrade my packages ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.8 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: Linux ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by thaldyron): Replying to [comment:3 duncan]:
We should record a "world" file of stuff the user explicitly requested. This is then the target for upgrades and re-installs when the user changes compiler.
I suppose this ticket hasn't been resolved yet. I would be interested in writing a patch for it, but would need to know whether my approach described in http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cabal-devel/2009-February/004800.html is the right way to go. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/199#comment:5 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
