#47: implement ./setup bdist ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: ijones | Owner: ijones Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.4 Component: cabal-install | Version: Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: hard Ghcversion: 6.2.1 | Platform: Linux ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * priority: high => normal * component: Cabal => cabal-install Comment: If we do this we should do this in cabal-install. We also need to specify exactly what we mean and want by a binary distribution. Would it be relocatable for example? What would the resulting tarball look like? What would be the procedure to install such a package. Is there really a great need for this in the light of tools that can generate distro packages like rpm, deb, ebuild etc. Needs more design discussion and someone to implement it. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/47#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
