#699: Do additional ghc / ghc-pkg consistency check ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.3 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- See http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4103 In future, `ghc --info` will report the global package database location. This can be used to check that ghc and ghc-pkg agree on the same one, as a consistency check to make sure the two programs are from the same ghc installation. Note that getting the location of the global package db from ghc-pkg is a bit hacky at the moment. One has to use `ghc-pkg list --global` and parse the result. Perhaps we need another ghc feature request for that. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/699 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
