[Hackage] #749: Package check cannot handle byte-order-mark in .cabal file
#749: Package check cannot handle byte-order-mark in .cabal file ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: Windows | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- When I edit a .cabal file with Notepad (Windows XP) and save it as UTF-8, Notepad writes a byte-order-mark at the start of the file. When testing the package for upload, I got the message: 400 Error in upload line 1: unrecognised field or section: "\65279Name: GeBoP" Henk-Jan van Tuyl -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/749 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects

See ticket #714. You can workaround the problem by not using the BOM for the .cabal UTF8 file. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/749#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
