#598: Bogus build failures on HackageDB --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: mboes | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: hackageDB website | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment(by duncan): Replying to [comment:5 ross]:
It will rebuild package versions that are already installed?
Probably saves trouble in the long run, though it would be annoying if
Exactly. It rebuilds them against different versions of their dependencies, so that the overall installation plan (graph) is consistent. It tries where possible to reuse existing installed package instances. the rebuild failed. Hopefully it would not matter since you wouldn't be uploading the results of dependent package rebuilds, just the single target package you're interested in. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/598#comment:6 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
