Presumably the reason to list it in build-depends instead of build-tools is that in the latter case cabal will not automatically install it as a dependency. But you are right that this is a strange situation, since if it is being used only as a preprocessor, semantically it ought to be listed in build-tools. -Brent > 2012/12/13 Michael Snoyman <[email protected]> > > > > > > > > > On Thu, Dec 13, 2012 at 9:51 PM, Daniel Trstenjak < > > [email protected]> wrote: > > > >> > >> On Thu, Dec 13, 2012 at 08:40:09PM +0200, Michael Snoyman wrote: > >> > If you have a commercial use for cpphs, and feel the terms of the (L)GPL > >> > are too onerous, you have the option of distributing unmodified binaries > >> > (only, not sources) under the terms of a different licence (see > >> > LICENCE-commercial). > >> > >> I think that depedencies to binaries, like cpphs, should be treated > >> differently than depedencies to libraries, because using a (L)GPL-ed > >> binary mostly hasn't any implications for a "commercial" user and > >> also for the output of a (L)GPL-ed binary usually the (L)GPL doesn't > >> apply. > >> > >> _______________________________________________ > >> Haskell-Cafe mailing list > >> [email protected] > >> http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe > >> > > > > In the case of cpphs, there's no way to determine that we're using it as a > > library or an executable, since it's just listed in the build-depends. > > > > Michael > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Haskell-Cafe mailing list > > [email protected] > > http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Haskell-Cafe mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
