Cabal - C sources in a subdirectory
by Einar Karttunen 17 Nov '04

17 Nov '04

Hello I have problems with Cabal failing to build simple packages if C-Sources are inside a subdirectory. With a Setup.description like: Name: Foo Version: 0.1 License: LGPL Modules: Foo Exposed-Modules: Foo Extensions: ForeignFunctionInterface C-Sources: c_src/foo.c Build creates c_src/foo.o => dist/build/foo.o (from the C-Sources build instruction in Distribution.Simple.Build). In the later stage it tries to look for the object file in dist/build/c_src/foo.o which fails. A complete minimal example is at http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/ekarttun/haskell/cfail.tar.gz - Einar Karttunen

GHC.Unicode
by Ross Paterson 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

This module diverges slightly from Haskell 98, which has isAlpha c = isUpper c || isLower c I'd also suggest using the H98 definitions of isDigit and isControl, even though glibc does the same thing.

Ok, sounds reasonable. I'm going to be working on the package support in ghc and ghc-pkg to improve support for Cabal, so let's do this at the same time. Cheers, Simon

Good work! The last thing you need to do is to send a note to John Petersen to incorporate it on the Haskell libraries page haskell.org/libraries. That way lots more people will be able to find it.

In some ways this looks like a good idea, but it contradicts some of the ideas in the Cabal proposal. There, we were treating the package database as an abstract entity hidden behind the ghc-pkg interface. All interaction with the database would be done via ghc-pkg. The advantages of this abstraction are the usual ones: we might want to change the representation, and the ghc-pkg tool provides a good place to add backwards compatibility if necessary. However, I'm prepared to be persuaded. The "just put a file in this directory" approach to installation is very compelling, being much more transparent. But bear in mind that if we pick this route, then backwards compatibility has to be built into the file format (I think it might be already, but we're planning changes in this area to better support Cabal). Also, there needs to be a way to find the location to install the file - asking ghc or ghc-pkg is the usual way. Cheers, Simon

proposal for ghc-pkg to use a directory of .conf files
by Duncan Coutts 06 Nov '04

06 Nov '04

Hi, It has been common in recent years since the widespread use of package management systems to break up configuration / settings files that are used by several packages into a directory of individual files rather than modifying a global file. The advantage of doing this is that it makes things easier for the package managers. Each individual file can belong to the appropriate package and so instead of having to execute registration/unregistration actions on install/uninstall it's just another file to add/remove. The other advantage is that there is no longer a global file that needs to be modified which means uninstallation is cleaner (most package managers do not remove files that were modified after installation). So the idea is that in addition to a single $HC-LIB/package.conf file you have a directory of package files $HC-LIB/package.conf.d/*.conf Obviously, the package chasing code needs to be tweaked slightly to slurp in a whole directory of .conf files and $HC-pkg would want to be able to use a directory as an installed package source. I had a peak at the code in ghc for dealing with .conf files. I'd guess it'd be best ok just check if the specified package file is a directory or an ordinary file and act accordingly. Ie you could say "-package-conf packages/" and ghc could by default read from $HC-LIB/package.conf and $HC-LIB/package.conf.d/ or something. I can knock up a proof of concept patch if anyone thinks this is a good idea. It should be totally backward compatible, it's ok to use both, but ditro packagers might like to enforce a policy of using a directory of package files for external libraries. Duncan
