[Hackage] #387: `cabal check` does not complain about incorrect `Cabal-Version` field
#387: `cabal check` does not complain about incorrect `Cabal-Version` field ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: Deewiant | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.10.1 Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- The validity of the `Cabal-Version` field is not verified in any way, making it all too easy to accidentally use a feature which isn't actually present in all the versions of Cabal the field allows. Sounds like something `cabal check` should do. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/387 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
#387: `cabal check` does not complain about incorrect `Cabal-Version` field ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: Deewiant | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.6 Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.10.1 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * milestone: => Cabal-1.6 Comment: In particular Cabal-1.6 added new syntax for: * version ranges `foo == 1.0.*` * source control repos * wildcards in the `data-files` and `extra-source-files` fields. * and we should allow new licenses, requiring cabal >= 1.4 The only tricky one to detect at the moment is the version ranges as they are not reflected in the abstract syntax tree. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/387#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
