#258: case confusion - cabal vs Cabal ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Resolution: wontfix Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by duncan): Note that `cabal-install` is mostly case insensitive in its user interface. For example: {{{ cabal list opengl cabal install opengl }}} Will work just fine. That's because "opengl" is not ambiguous. If there were an "Opengl" and an "OpenGl" package then `cabal list opengl` would list both, but `cabal install opengl` would complain and you'd have to use `cabal install OpenGL` exactly. It's ok for distro packages to use all lower case even if the haskell package uses mixed case. The promise is that there will be no overlaps (with the one exception that packages can rename themselves to a different case, but in that case it's still really the same package.) -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/258#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
