[Hackage] #822: world-file does not support $arch, $os, $compiler
#822: world-file does not support $arch, $os, $compiler ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: josh | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.10.1.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ In my ~/.cabal/config, I have: install-dirs user prefix: /home/josh/.cabal/install/$arch-$os-$compiler This allows packages for multiple architectures (such as 32-bit and 64-bit) or multiple compilers (such as ghc6 and ghc7) to coexist. It also ensures that after upgrading the compiler, old libraries that won't work automatically disappear. Recent cabal added a "world" file, under ~/.cabal/world. I tried to move this to the same directory, by adding: world-file: /home/josh/.cabal/install/$arch-$os-$compiler/world However, this generated the following error: Error while Error while updating world-file. : /home/josh/.cabal/install/$arch-$os-$compiler/: openNewBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory) From this, I'd guess that cabal doesn't support those variables in world- file like it does in prefix. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/822 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
