#422: Cabal should warn if using a version of ghc that is newer than Cabal knows about ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) | Ghcversion: 6.8.3 Platform: | ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- It seems to often happen that newer versions of ghc make changes that break old versions of Cabal. This is particularly a problem for `cabal- install` since that need not necessarily be upgraded when ghc is upgraded. Probably it should warn if the major version is bigger than the known version at the time. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/422 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
