#937: cabal-install cannot pass package ids to the build process ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: kosmikus | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.16 Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.14.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- The solver determines an install plan that fixes package ids of installed packages. However, the Setup interface currently does not allow us to specify package ids once we start building; we can only fix the versions. This can lead to problems in situations where multiple instances of the same package version are installed on a system, and the install plan selects one, but we cannot uniquely communicate that to the builder. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/937 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
