Issue #2810: Search upwards for package directory
Hey all, I've been working a bit on #2810 and would love to have initial review comments; see https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/2810 https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/2811 (pull req) (Btw, would it be possible to assign me to the issue?) I'd especially like comments on the following: - Does this look like a sane approach? - Are the any obvious-to-cabal-experts problems here? - I'd especially like feedback on the non-trivial FIXMEs. (There are some really obvious things I just haven't got round to.) Regards,

Btw, I'll try to address the obvious FIXMEs tomorrow just to make review a bit easier. Regards,

Hey all,
[--snip--] And interesting issue came up during discussion that I'd like to bring up here too, just in case people have muted their github mail[1], namely the handling of CWD -- it's fixable, but the simplest and most robust fix I can think of is going towards a git-like model of subcommand handling; see https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/2349#issuecomment-137925036 (I just wanted to bring to the attention of people on the list who may not be following along.) Cheers, [1] I think I've now grown a certain sympathy for people who say that GitHub's issue tracker is truly awful for a project of this (or any non-trivial) size which doesn't have a full-time team following up on issues. Anyone want to change bug trackers? ;)
