Package: libghc6-cabal-dev
Severity: normal
-- I guess this is happening because in order to generate the
register.sh file, we're looking at what verison of GHC cabal is built
with, not which version is installed? --
From: Andres Loeh
Subject: bad register.sh produced by cabal
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
reproduce:
unpack cabal-0.5
make setup
./setup configure
./setup build
./setup register --gen-script
Calling the script produces:
adorp cabal # ./register.sh
ghc-pkg: command-line syntax error
Usage:
ghc-pkg register {filename | -}
Register the package using the specified installed package
description. The syntax for the latter is given in the ghc-pkg
documentation.
ghc-pkg update {filename | -}
Register the package, overwriting any other package with the
same name.
ghc-pkg unregister {pkg-id}
Unregister the specified package.
ghc-pkg expose {pkg-id}
Expose the specified package.
ghc-pkg hide {pkg-id}
Hide the specified package.
ghc-pkg list
List registered packages in the global database, and also the
user database if --user is given.
ghc-pkg describe {pkg-id}
Give the registered description for the specified package. The
description is returned in precisely the syntax required by
ghc-pkg
register.
ghc-pkg field {pkg-id} {field}
Extract the specified field of the package description for the
specified package.
The following optional flags are also accepted:
--user use the current user's package
database
--global (default) use the global package
database
-f FILE --package-conf=FILE act upon specified package config file
(only)
--global-conf=FILE location of the global package config
--force ignore missing dependencies,
directories, and libraries
-g --auto-ghci-libs automatically build libs for GHCi
(with register)
-? --help display this help and exit
-V --version output version information and exit
