#927: [PATCH] enhancements to cabal init: dependency guessing + minor improvements ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: byorgey2 | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.16 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: init Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Sent this to the mailing list a while ago but sticking it here so it doesn't get lost. As of today (9 March 2012) it still applies cleanly. The bundle contains four patches. The first three are minor improvements. The last is a bigger addition, which tries to guess the right package dependencies to list in the build-depends field. {{{ Fri Oct 14 16:21:34 EDT 2011 Brent Yorgey * init: improve prompt: 'homepage' field is not for repos. Fri Oct 14 16:22:10 EDT 2011 Brent Yorgey * init: improve prompt: enclose y/n in parens Fri Oct 14 16:22:30 EDT 2011 Brent Yorgey * init: see whether source directory 'src' exists. Tue Oct 25 01:09:00 EDT 2011 Brent Yorgey * init: guess at filling in deps in the build-depends: field }}} -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/927 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
