#507: Improve `cabal info` output for the local package ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: minor | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by duncan): The `cabal info` command will now work for the local package. Just run `cabal info ./` or `cabal info blah.cabal` using the the local .cabal filename. Note that it does not give the description of the package flags, just their name. {{{ Sun Feb 13 19:41:50 GMT 2011 Duncan Coutts * Add a new module for handling user targets This will allow us to increase the range of targets that cabal commands can support. The new ones are local directory targets, local cabal files, local tarballs and remote tarballs by URL. Also a better way of doing the special "world" target. Sun Feb 13 19:46:27 GMT 2011 Duncan Coutts * Partial rewrite of cabal list and info commands The new user target system requires a change in how cabal info works. Instead of just giving package names and looking them up in the available package index, we can now specify names with versions or version constraints which means we want the info to be about that version in particular. We now list many installed and available versions and mark which ones are preferred or not. Also fix a bug for packages that are only installed, not available. }}} -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/507#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
