#493: counterintuitive syntax of .cabal/config file ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Resolution: fixed Keywords: | Difficulty: unknown Ghcversion: | Platform: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by duncan): * status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: {{{ Sun Feb 15 19:08:17 GMT 2009 Duncan Coutts * Put an explanation of the config file format at the top in comments. }}} Newly created config files have this blurb at the top: {{{ -- This is the configuration file for the 'cabal' command line tool. -- The available configuration options are listed below. -- Some of them have default values listed. -- Lines (like this one) beginning with '--' are comments. -- Be careful with spaces and indentation because they are -- used to indicate layout for nested sections. }}} I'm assuming this is enough to address the original complaint. If anyone thinks we need more then reopen this ticket or file a new one. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/493#comment:2 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
