#924: symlink-bindir does not play nice with program-suffix ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: cabal-install-0.16 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.14.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: symlink-bindir program-suffix Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: 7.4.1 Platform: Linux | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by kosmikus): * milestone: => cabal-install-0.16 Comment: I am actually not sure what was the intention here. Installing the binary with the suffix seems the right thing to do. For the symlink, I don't know. I think both makes sense in certain situations. In particular, creating the symlink without a suffix makes sense in the case that you install multiple variants of one program with different suffixes and want the symlink to point to whatever is your current default variant. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/924#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
