Hi,
I want to add '-fwarn-tabs' to the warnings run when testing patches? (and clean up the couple uses of tabs).
The warning is documented in ghc-6.8, missing in ghc-6.6 (but it could still be there?), ghc-6.6 does not support the current darcs contrib, due to various pragmas in use, such as -XDeriveDataTypeable, among others.
Changing the -fglasgow-exts flags to more specific pragmas should carry the same risks too.
Cheers, Adam
I think we were waiting on -fwarn-tabs until we stopped supporting 6.6. Now that we've done that we should absolutely activate -fwarn-tabs. In the case of -fglasgow-exts, do be careful. I think there were some bugs between 6.8 and 6.10 and extension flags. Cheers, Spencer Janssen
