I have not been following the recent work on Cabal, but I tried to build in the gap before this patch was committed. I Fri Aug 3 18:57:01 GMT Daylight Time 2007 Thomas Schilling <nominolo@gmail.com> * Fix tab in Cabal.cabal. I was surprised to find that tabs are disallowed in cabal files. Is that really the intention? It seems like a pitfall for the unwary! At the very least, if they must be disallowed, could the error message be more informative? At the moment we get Setup.exe: Cabal.cabal:70: Unrecognized field format: 'Distribution.Simple.SetupWrapper,' It'd be better to get Setup.exe: Cabal.cabal:70: illegal tab character: replace with spaces Simon
