I think we want to get this patch into the Cabal shipped with GHC 6.8.1. It closes one possible way that spurious build failures can occur when tracking development with multiple packages. The xmonad team report that this is a common problem for users. patch description: Tue Oct 23 10:31:11 BST 2007 Simon Marlow * Refuse to run any commands if the .cabal has been modified See GHC bug #1372 This is a consistency check, intended to prevent this class of build failures: * Package P is updated, its version number is bumped, the new version is compiled and installed. * Package Q depends on P. Q is modified to use the new P, and Q's .cabal file is updated with changes to the build-depends field to depend on the new version of P. * The user has an old build of Q. They pull the changes to Q and 'setup build' without cleaning or re-configuring. Build errors ensue, because the code of Q depends on changes to P's API, and we're still building against the old P. Note that you can't get segfaults this way, only build errors. This also relies on some new consistency checking in GHC 6.8 to work properly. If the user re-configures their Q build and then issues 'setup build' without cleaning, GHC must now realise that the package flags have changed, and re-compile all the affected Q modules. GHC 6.6 would not do this, but 6.8 does.

However we cannot do this for cabal itself or we'd not be able to bootstrap. So we just supress the warning for the package "Cabal". ] [Wrap the configure help text program list and rename the prog arg templates Duncan Coutts **20070823193245 Use "--with-PROG=" rather than "--with-<program>" since the other subsitution bits like ARGS, PATH etc are upper case contractions. So it's more consistent. ] [Make the GetOpt help text fit in 80 cols by wrapping the description Duncan Coutts **20070823193015 And reduce the padding slightly. The configure help text look slightly less terrible now, though we've still got too many long flags and short flags with long arg names so there's not really enough width for the description so it wraps in too many cases. ] [Don't include the massive list of --with-prog --prog-args flags in help text Duncan Coutts **20070823155910 Instead have just two generic ones in the help text and at the bottom, list the programs that the flags apply to.

It is very very quiet by default now though. To make the -v output nice we have to lower the verbosity one notch in places. ] [Add a sanity check that the ghc and ghc-pkg versions should be equal Duncan Coutts **20070817034519 This was easy to do now that Programs know how to find their version numbers. ] [Rewrite the Program abstraction and the ProgramConfiguration database Duncan Coutts **20070817033841 Also make the follow on changes to everything that uses Program. The notion of a program is now split into the abstract notion of a program that we know about and might be able to configure, and a configured program that we can actually run. The ProgramConfiguration database is similarly split. We still keep user-supplied loation and arguments and use them when we configure programs. The abstract Program now has functions to search for the program on the system and for finding the version number. This allows for more generic configuration of programs. ] [Add some extra functions to Compat.Map that we'll need later Duncan Coutts **20070817033800] [Split ConfVar into ConfFlag and ConfVar Esa Ilari Vuokko **20070816003105] [Make 'make tests' runnable again Esa Ilari Vuokko **20070816002009] [Add configure --docdir flag which defaults to "$datadir/doc/$pkgid" Duncan Coutts **20070816011634 Fixes bug #140 ] [Fix Paths_pkg.hs generation Esa Ilari Vuokko **20070814204557] [Warning police: Add type signatures and rename arg Esa Ilari Vuokko **20070814160830] [Warning police: Remove unused statement and import Esa Ilari Vuokko **20070814143057] [Warning police: provide fallback pattern match Esa Ilari Vuokko **20070814143008] [Reorder, make explicit and beautify imports Esa Ilari Vuokko **20070814142000] [Refactor the code for managing installation directories Duncan Coutts **20070814092320 New types for the collection of installation directory templates and a separate type for the collection of actual real install FilePaths.

For most compilers this is currently just a static list. For ghc 6.7 and above we query ghc to find the list of language extensions it supports. In each case the code has moved out into the compiler-specific modules and the core code treats it generically. The extensionsToFlags function has been split into two: extensionsToFlags which now returns the flags for the supported extensions and unsupportedExtensions which does what it says it does. This is because the two roles of the previous function were always used separately, never together. ] [Use String rather than importing a module just to misuse a String type alias Duncan Coutts **20070807170526] [Add a little documentation.
