#716: Inconsistent behavior between custom and simple build types ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: j3h | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ If a Custom build-type is used, Setup.hs may be built with a different version of Cabal than the one that cabal-install was built with. This can cause hard-to-find (seemingly random) build failures. Perhaps cabal-install should warn when it runs Setup.hs with a different version of Cabal than the one that it was built with. Alternatively, it could fail if the version of Cabal that cabal-install was built with is not available when compiling the Setup script. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/716 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
