#14558: Unable to parse integer-gmp's Cabal file -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: taylorfausak | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Core Libraries | Version: 8.2.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): If I understand this right: 1. The versions of the library in GHC and the version in Hackage are now consistent; and the cabal files now specify Cabal 2 (which indeed they need). 2. The remaining problem is that GHC now requires a bleeding-edge Cabal 2, and indeed ships with it. But that gives a problem for other downstream clients of GHC which may not have as recent a Cabal. We should resolve (2) for the future. But meanwhile, I think (but I'm not certain) that we are stuck with it for 8.2. Is that right? Re (2), leon, hsyl20, taylorfausak: did you encounter this problem because Stack was (understandably) not using a sufficiently up to date Cabal. Or did you have an independent reason why the change to the cabal file format caused you a problem? Thanks. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14558#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
