#593: Rebuild for library profiling without reinstalling ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.6.0.2 Severity: minor | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ I tried: {{{ cabal install mtl --enable-library-profiling }}} when I already had mtl installed, but didn't have the profiling libraries for installed. I got the message: {{{ No packages to be installed. All the requested packages are already installed. If you want to reinstall anyway then use the --reinstall flag. }}} Re-running the same command with --reinstall did install the profiling libraries, but it also rebuilt the non-profiling version (which was already installed). It would be nice if "cabal install" was smart enough to just rebuild the profiling libraries if you try to install an already- installed library with the --enable-library-profiling flag. This is with cabal-install 0.6.2, library version 1.6.0.3. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/593 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
