#542: installing cabal-install refers to editing nonexistent file $HOME/.cabal/config ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: nr | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: minor | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: unknown Ghcversion: | Platform: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by duncan): The config file gets created the first time you run any interesting command, like update or install. What do you think we should do about this situation? I updated the README recently so that it's a bit clearer that one should run update before editing the config file. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/542#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
