#217: Main modules in .hsc files are not included in sdist ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: gwern | Owner: Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.4 Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by duncan): Fixed but not yet documented. {{{ Thu Jan 31 11:49:09 GMT 2008 Duncan Coutts * Find original sources for main-is when creating sdist Also add a package sanity check that main-is must specify a .hs or .lhs file. So the bahaviour is now that main-is specifies the main source file, even if that is generated by a pre-processor. This isn't really a change in behaviour since previously if you specified main-is: main.hsc then it would try to pass the .hsc file to ghc dirctly which would not work. For ticket #14 things were fixed to that it would look for main.hsc if you used main-is: main.hs an that file did not exist directy. This completes the other half, of actually being able to make a src distribution. So this should fix bug #217. Note that this still needs some work, we do not run platform-independent preprocessors and put the result into the tarball for main-is files. Generally, main-is has been the second class citizen compared to normal modules. We should try and refactor so both use the same code paths. }}} -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/217#comment:11 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
