#542: installing cabal-install refers to editing nonexistent file $HOME/.cabal/config ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: nr | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: cabal-install-0.16 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: minor | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by kosmikus): * priority: normal => low * milestone: => cabal-install-0.16 Comment: While it's obvious to me that it can't be done at install time, I fail to see why we need to wait until an "interesting" command is executed. Why can't the first invocation of {{{cabal}}} create the config file? Does config file creation depend on {{{update}}} having been run before? -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/542#comment:4 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
