#714: cabal: Couldn't read cabal file ".\\HaTeX\\1.0.0\\HaTeX.cabal" ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.6.0.3 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.12.1 Platform: Windows | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by ross): Replying to [comment:6 duncan]:
Ross: the temporary solution is to change the hackage-scripts upload script to read the .cabal file from disk using a modified readUTF8File that does not ignore the BOM:
Is the idea to make the upload fail by triggering a parse error? -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/714#comment:8> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
