#256: Copying files during installation is oblivious to ~ ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by guest): Well, autoconf would not let me down like that, since it uses a the install.sh program which passes the path verbatim to the shell. I have little experience with any other installation tools. Hence this behaviour was new to me. For me, the 'standard behaviour' is that ~ is expanded to my home directory. Close it if you disagree that not expanding ~ is standard behaviour. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/256#comment:5 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
