#609: ghc-pkg dump encoding ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: igloo | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: unknown Ghcversion: | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by duncan): Replying to [comment:3 igloo]:
Whatever we decide should happen in the future, existing installations may have non-UTF-8 package databases.
ghc and ghc-pkg do not have to deal with existing non-utf8 package dbs because they only read/write them for package dbs for ghc 6.12. Cabal may have to if cabal-install is built with 6.12 but used with `ghc-pkg-6.10 dump`. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/609#comment:4 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
