#40: how well does sdist work in windows? is there a better way to find 'tar'? ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: ijones | Owner: kr.angelov@gmail.com Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal | Version: Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.2.1 | Platform: Linux ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Comment (by duncan): Perhaps the sdist feature should be part of the cabal-install tool and not part of the Cabal library. Then it could use the zlib package as cabal- install does. That would be a solution for Windows. The Cabal library could provide functions just to prepare the sdist temporary directory but not the bit that actually packs that up into a .tar.gz file. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/40#comment:5 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
