#776: cabal check gives invalid duplicate modules warning ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.8.0.2 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Given the Cabal file: {{{ cabal-version: >= 1.2 build-type: Simple name: test version: 4.1 license: GPL category: Test author: Test maintainer: Test synopsis: Test description: Test flag extended-library library if flag(extended-library) exposed-modules: Test else other-modules: Test }}} I get the {{{cabal check}}} output: {{{ The following warnings are likely affect your build negatively: * Duplicate modules in library: Test These warnings may cause trouble when distributing the package: * A 'license-file' is not specified. The following errors will cause portability problems on other environments: * The package is missing a Setup.hs or Setup.lhs script. Hackage would reject this package. }}} The error about Test being duplicate is incorrect - the flag means it will occur at most once. This bug is annoying for Hoogle, which wants to have a library exposing internal details, mainly for documentation purposes, and a normal library as well.
