#187: Paths_pkgname module is hard to use in a library ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.4 Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.2.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: fixed Keywords: | Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) Ghcversion: 6.8.1 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by guest): There's still a problem for sdist: sdist shouldn't care about Paths_pkgname because it's installation dependent, but if you have Paths_pkgname in Other-modules sdist tries to include that module in the tarball, and so fails to create the package because it can't find the file. two ways to solve this might be: (i) add Paths_pkgname automatically during build, install and haddock. (ii) filter Paths_pkgname out in sdist. but maybe the cleanest solution is to have a dedicated field in the package description? -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/187#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
