#217: Main modules in .hsc files are not included in sdist ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: gwern | Owner: Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.4 Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by duncan): Main modules that need pre-processing half work. :-) The half that does not work is including them into the src tarball. Perhaps we are free to change the interpretation of `main-is` when using pre-processors since due to the sdist bug it would have been hard for any existing packages to use that feature. I think `main-is` is a bit of a wart. It specifies some kind of file name where all the other bits us a module name. This is reflected internally in the code where most of this stuff works in terms of module names and the `main-is` has to be hacked in. :-( -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/217#comment:8 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
