#408: cabal install / cabal update should give warning when preferred versions will result in something other than the latest version on hackage ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: tphyahoo | Owner: duncan coutts Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.10.1 | Platform: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by lilac): It's important that the wording of the message makes it clear that installing the non-preferred version is, well, not preferred. Possible wording: {{{ Note: Not installing parsec 3.0.0 because the preferred version is 2.1.0.1. If you want to override this then run cabal install 'parsec == 3.0.0' }}} -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/408#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
