#276: Add support for convenience libraries ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: rl | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- I'd like to have a package with several binaries which all use a convenience library included in that same package. The convenience library should NOT be installed. For this to work, Cabal needs two things. Firstly, it must allow dependencies within a package such that I could describe the library and have the binaries depend on it. Secondly, it should have an "installable" flag, similar to "buildable". A thing that's not installable would be built but not installed. The same mechanism could be used for package-internal tools. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/276 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
