Thu Mar 27 14:34:11 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts * Parse Bool fields using more cunning, allow new parses with a warning We want to allow case-insensitive parsing however we don't want packages being uploaded to hackage that will break older versions of Cabal. If we allow new valid parses then we will end up breaking stuff. So what we really want to do is allow new parses but warn if they're not ones that older versions of Cabal would have allowed. So long as hackage rejects pakcages that have parse warnings then we can prevent new .cabal files appearing on hackage that would break older Cabal versions. Our current parser (ReadP) does not support warnings so we have to handle the bool fields specially in the parser wrapper layer that we added to handle errors and warnings. This can go away when we use a parser with support for error and warning messages.
