#505: use environment variable for location of config file ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- See http://haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2009-February/056388.html We can currently specify the cabal config file on the command line but some situation it would be useful in to be able to specify it via an environment variable. This should be pretty easy for someone to do. The order of priority would be command line, env var, per-user default location. It should be an error to specify by the command line or env var a non-existant config file. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/505> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
