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 <simonmar@microsoft.com> * 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.
