#380: Ability to blacklist packages that are on hackage ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: cabal-install-0.16 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: hard (< 1 day) | Ghcversion: 6.8.3 Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by kosmikus): * milestone: cabal-install-0.14 => cabal-install-0.16 Comment: The following works now: * Constraints and preferences can be added to the global config file. * Each `constraint:` or `preference:` line can specify only a single constraint, but several such lines can occur. * Config file constraints will be handled like command-line constraints by the solver. This can be used to specify a personal blacklist. However, the following remains to be done: * Make it easier to work with several config files. Currently, we can reset the config file, but not use a stack of config files. `cabal-dev` allows the latter. * Distinguish config file constraints from command-line constraints in error messages. * Allow a single config file line to contain a list of constraints. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/380#comment:4 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
