So I think hackage should reject them with a suitable error message. I can send a patch. On that topic in fact, I think all parser warnings should be fatal errors as far as hackage is concerned.
OK, parser warnings (including UTF decode errors) are now fatal.
Great. Is that patch pushed to the repo? I don't see it yet. I've got a patch to update generally to the latest Cabal api, though if you've got the utf warnings form the latest cabal then have you had to make all those changes already?
(When the decoder detects all the illegals, they'll be kept out.)
Yep, working on that.
Existing Latin-1 .cabal files have been transliterated to UTF-8.
Fantastic, thanks. Duncan
