#231: "buildable: False" should fail the current configuration ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: nominolo Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.6 Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by duncan): Another possibility is to deprecate buildable for this use case and add `fail` instead which would provide an error message to indicate why a particular configuration is not possible. The semantics would be slightly different to `buildable: False`. It would make configuring the whole package fail, not just disable building that executable or library. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/231#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
