#199: when installing a new version of GHC, there should be a way to upgrade my packages ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: cabal-install-0.8 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: fixed Keywords: | Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: Linux ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by duncan): * status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: Patch applied along with a couple patches to move the code around and a slight change in behaviour. This will need user testing and feedback to see if the behaviour works OK in practice and if people find it useful. I'm not totally convinced about the file format yet, though it'll do for now. I suspect we'll need to add more config items than version and flags. Perhaps we need to use a format more like the config file and allow additional fields for each package (e.g. lib dirs etc etc). -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/199#comment:11 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
