#864: worldfile written with incorrect case ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: benmachine | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: cabal-install-0.16 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by kosmikus): * milestone: cabal-install-0.14 => cabal-install-0.16 Comment: Pains me to do this, but I'll defer this to the next release. The situation seems a bit messy to me, and I don't want to interfere. In the install command, user targets are "resolved". During this phase, case-resolution is done, but for example, also "world" is expanded to the actual contents of the world file. The resolved targets are then passed to the solver. However, when the world file is written, the original command line targets are used, not the resolved ones. And indeed, from the output of the resolver we can't tell anymore which targets have been specified explicitly, and which ones might have been themselves added by other means (such as expanding world). I think the proper fix is to add enough info to the output of the target resolver so that we can use that info for writing the world file, too. However, this is a change I don't want to make immediately before a release. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/864#comment:2 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
