[Hackage] #180: configure should warn if a declared licence file is missing
#180: configure should warn if a declared licence file is missing ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Cabal | Version: 1.2.2.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.4.2 Platform: Linux | ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ There are a few packages around which declare {{{ license-file: LICENSE }}} but then that LICENSE file actually does not exist. Currently we do not discover this until we try and install at which point we get the unhelpful error: {{{ setup: LICENCE: copyFile: does not exist (No such file or directory) }}} It would be much more helpful to users and developers alike if we warned in the configure step if the file was missing. This is partly a transitional issue, since older versions of Cabal did not install license files at all, so it never noticed. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/180 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
