[Hackage] #441: cabal update does not update dependent components
#441: cabal update does not update dependent components ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.10.1 Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ When I run `cabal update` it updates one-or-more package(s). But does not rebuild/reinstall dependent packages. It must be done manually. I think it would be part of the job. (As I saw it in the ''gentoo world''. :)) -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/441 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects

It updates the list of known packages by downloading the list from the hackage server. The `cabal upgrade` command is probably what you are looking for. It upgrades all packages to the latest versions. The gentoo equivalent of `cabal update` is `emerge --sync` and the equivalent of `cabal upgrade` is `emerge -D world`. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/441#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
