Re: [Hugs] #44: Hugs does not provide version numbers for installed packages
On the other hand, !InstalledPackageInfo is somewhat GHC-specific, so
#44: Hugs does not provide version numbers for installed packages --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: briansmith | Owner: nobody Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: hugs | Version: 200609 Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Changes (by guest): * cc: duncan@haskell.org (added) Comment: Replying to [comment:2 ross]: perhaps it would be better in both cases to just put in the package description, augmented with any buildinfo generated by package configuration. Is there anything GHC-specific that would cause problems? Some fields can simply be ignored for hugs. It'd be nice if we could get ghc, nhc and hugs all using a collection of !InstalledPackageInfo values for the package database. In future Cabal will read back the whole !InstalledPackageInfo when working with ghc so it can do module chasing. It'd be great if we could include hugs in such a scheme too. Currently Cabal doesn't know anything about the installed packages for hugs. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hugs/ticket/44#comment:5 Hugs http://www.haskell.org/hugs/ Hugs 98, an interpreter for Haskell
