#795: cabal-install's bootstrap.sh should use fetch(1) on FreeBSD ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: larsv | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: minor | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: Other Unix | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ On a vanilla FreeBSD install, you do not have any of wget or curl installed. The system however bundles the fetch(1) tool, which is perfectly capable of retrieving files. I suggest adding support for this tool in bootstrap.sh. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/795 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
