#58: allow darcs repo to be specified in cabal file ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: ijones | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: Cabal-1.4 Component: Cabal library | Version: Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.2.1 | Platform: Linux ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by igloo): Replying to [comment:7 kolmodin]:

I'd like a tool that downloads the scm version of a cabal package. very simple yet I'd find it much useful.

{{{ cabal-source get zlib }}} should run darcs and give me the zlib repo in the current dir. Nice...

I'd expect a `--development` flag, or similar, to be needed if you want the source from the RCS. Otherwise I'd expect it to give you the source from the latest tarball. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/58#comment:8 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
