A maintenance command of Haskell cabal packages
Hello cafe, Let me announce a maintenance command of Haskell cabal packages. http://www.mew.org/~kazu/proj/cab/en/ ---- "cab" is a MacPorts-like maintenance command of Haskell cabal packages. Some part of this program is a wrapper to "ghc-pkg" and "cabal". If you are always confused due to inconsistency of two commands, or if you want a way to check all outdated packages, or if you want a way to remove outdated packages recursively, this command helps you. ---- I'm a user of Yesod. Yesod consists of many packages and they are being updated very quickly. So, I need this command. Regards, --Kazu

whoah, it has uninstall!!! awesome! Conrad.

It just unregisters libraries not delete them actually. But I guess it is enough for you. The "cabal-delete" command does delete libraries and I'm planning to integrate "cab" and "cabal-delete". But the author of "cabal-delete" is now suffering from the Tsunami in Japan. I'm just waiting for his recovery. I want to integrate "cab" and "cabal-dev" also. But I cannot understand how to use "cabal-dev" at this momemnt... --Kazu

Have you read this? http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/related/f3ykj/psa_use_cabaldev_to_solve_depe... cabal-dev is a wrapper around cabal. It creates the directory "cabal-dev" in your current directory when you run commands. If you understand how to use 'cabal' then 'cabal-dev' should be pretty easy to figure out. Do you have any specific questions? Jason
Hello,
Have you read this? http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/related/f3ykj/ psa_use_cabaldev_to_solve_dependency_problems/
I did know this page. I will read it later. Thank you.
cabal-dev is a wrapper around cabal. It creates the directory "cabal-dev" in your current directory when you run commands.
Yes, I know. But when I typed "cabal-devel install" on a package directory, nothing happened.

I read its source but I could not found the code where cabal-dev passes GHC_PACKAGE_PATH to ghc. I don't know how cabal-dev can implement the sandbox featrue. --Kazu

Can you give a specific example? Surely *something* happened :)

running cabal-dev with --verbose=3 will show you all the cabal and ghc-pkg commands, which is probably the best way to see what's going on. Cabal-dev uses a custom cabal.config file that's (by default) located in the sandbox directory. That file specifies a package-db to use (amongst a few other things), and cabal-install is invoked with that config. --Rogan

I guess this happens with Haskell Platform for MacOS only. In this environment, .cabal/config specifies as follows: remote-repo-cache: /Users/<user>/Library/Haskell/repo-cache But cabal-dev refers to /Users/<user>/.cabal/packages. After "cabal-dev update" to create it, everything becomes fine to me. Thank you. --Kazu
https://github.com/creswick/cabal-dev/issues#issue/15 My workaround was to create a link: ln -s ~/Library/Haskell/repo-cache ~/.cabal/packages Cheers, Anders On Apr 1, 2011, at 7:38 AM, Kazu Yamamoto (山本和彦) wrote:
