#13753: Improve GHC's ghc package environment lookup logic -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: hvr | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 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 gershomb): Along with this, GHC and GHCI should always notify when loading with a package-env file. The default lookup paths make it too easy to accidentally run with a file when you don't realize you are, causing potentially strange behavior. Now that cabal new-* commands generate these files by default, I imagine there will be many people confused by this. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13753#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
