Great! Things mostly seem to work in the HEAD. I'm attaching a couple of
patches that I needed. I've also moved some of base/Setup.hs into
base/base.cabal, although I haven't checked that it works yet.

One thing I found is that I needed an IsGHC flag; should there be an
impl(GHC) built-in? I guess further down this road is testing the
/version/ of the implementation as well, and perhaps even the tags.

Also, I'm not sure how to patch up libraries/installPackage.hs. It used
to do

    pdFile <- defaultPackageDesc verbosity
    pd <- readPackageDescription verbosity pdFile
    lbi <- getPersistBuildConfig

so I think I now want to do

    pdFile <- defaultPackageDesc verbosity
    ppd <- readPackageDescription verbosity pdFile
    lbi <- getPersistBuildConfig
    pd <- finalizePackageDescription lbi ppd

except finalizePackageDescription doesn't work like that. What's the
best way to do this?


Thanks
Ian

    necessary for bootstrapping GHC from .hc files, where we'll be
    using Makefiles generated by 'setup makefile' to build the

  - the Makefile tempate is in a text file, processed into a .hs file
    by a small script (mkGHCMakefile.sh).  This is run by hand for now,
    and I've included the generated module, so there shouldn't be any
    problems with building Cabal.

[rejig location of package interfaces for haddock
Ross Paterson <ross at soi.city.ac.uk>**20070515110833
 
 Formerly, setup haddock invoked haddock with a --use-package option
 for each prerequisite package, causing haddock to invoke ghc-pkg to
 get the haddock-interfaces and haddock-html fields for each package.
 The former is accurate, but the latter is not what you want if your
 documentation is to be placed on the web.
 
 Now setup haddock invokes ghc-pkg itself, but if the --html-location
 option is given, its argument is expanded for each package and used
 instead of the haddock-html field.  The results are then assembed as
 --read-interface options for haddock.  For example,
 
 	setup haddock '--html-location=http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/$pkg/latest/doc/html'
 
 generates HTML documentation with hyperlinks pointing at the pages on
 HackageDB.

 Hopefully this will make it easier to get better verbosity consistency.
 
 We could, by changing only Distribution.Verbosity, use
 "type Verbosity = Int" for now to give users of the library a chance to
 catch up, but the upcoming Cabal release seems like a good opportunity
 to cram in as much of the interface-changing stuff that we want to do
 as we can. I think the added benefit of a slow switch would be very low
 indeed.

 This actually depends on a patch in c2hs to make it treat --output-dir
 in the way we want. That patch will be forthcomming soonish.
 But the point is:
 c2hs --output-dir=dist/base --output=Foo/Bar.hs src/Foo/Bar.chs
 will generate dist/base/Foo/Bar.hs and also dist/base/Foo/Bar.h
 but inside the .hs file it'll reference Foo/Bar.h so when we compile the

] 
[Generalise PreProcessors to take more detailed args
Duncan Coutts <duncan.coutts at worc.ox.ac.uk>**20070422100558
 Most pre-processors just need the full source file and target file names.
 More complicated ones where the generated files have to embed links to each
 other need more information. For example c2hs generates .hs file that
 reference generated .h files. These links should be relative to the dist/build
 dir and not to the top of the source tree, since we do not want to add -I. to
 the includes search path. We only want to use -Idist/build, hence the embeded
 links must be relative to that. Therefor c2hs needs to know the base output
 directory as well as the name of the file relative to that.
 So we add a new type PreProcessorFull that has this extra info and a function
 simplePP :: :: PreProcessor -> PreProcessorFull
 for the common case of most existing pre-processors that do not need this
 extra info.
 This patch doesn't actually change the c2hs stuff, that comes next.
] 
[Put pre-processed source into the dist/build dir rather than src dirs
Duncan Coutts <duncan.coutts at worc.ox.ac.uk>**20070422095631
 This is generally just a nicer thing to do, we should probably aim to
 not write any files into the source tree at all.
 The main change is in the preprocessModule function. It now takes an extra
 arg which is the destination directory. For now I'm passing the buildDir,
 but we could consider putting pre-processed files into a separate fir
 from where the .o and .hi files end up.
 To work out the correct destination file we need to know not only the source
 file but which of the search dirs it was found in, since the relative file
 name will be the name of the source file relative to the search dir it was
 found in, not the name relative to the top of the source tree. This is so that
 we will be able to find the pre-processed .hs file just by adding dist/build
 to the sources search path when we compile (eg with -i for ghc).
 This almost certainly breaks the sdist thing where pre-processed files get
 included into the tarball. So that'll need looking at.

Duncan Coutts <duncan.coutts at worc.ox.ac.uk>**20070430185744

[Use rawSystem not system for capturing output of commands
Duncan Coutts <duncan.coutts at worc.ox.ac.uk>**20070430184046
 For example we were using a wrapper around 'system' to find the haddock
 version. This invokes the system command interpreter and passes the
 command to run as an argument. If the command has spaces in it and is not
 properly escaped then everything goes wrong. This happens for example
 on windows when haddock and other programs are kept under "Program Files".
 So the right thing to do is never to use system, but always rawSystem since
 then there are no escaping issues.
 
 This patch replaces a couple function systemCaptureStdout and systemGetStdout
 with rawSystemStdout which now lives in Distribution.Simple.Utils.
 
 This also uses some rather nasty code to get the output of a command.
 It really really should not be this hard to do portably. To work around
 the fact that we cannot use runInteractiveProcess we instead have to create
 a temporary file. This also turns out to be a hack because the 'standard'
 openTempFile is not implemented except by GHC, so we now have a hacky version
 living in Distribution.Compat.TempFile just waiting for the standard 
 openTempFile to be made properly portable, or for us to get some
 System.Process function that does what we want.

 This change simply splits sdist into three functions.
 
 The normal sdist function remains unchanged from the caller's
 perspective, but it now consists of two phases, each an exported function.
 The source tree is prepared by prepareTree, and the archive is created
 by createArchive.
 
 This lets the cabal-rpm tool prepare a source tree and insert a few
 extra files into it before generating a tarball.

 I had a feeble attempt to avoid needing this originally, using $(sort ...)

 the list, so it doesn't work.  mkdir's -p option is POSIX, and I found
 it on all the platforms I checked (Linux, Solaris, Darwin, FreeBSD).

[Add 'setup makefile' command
Simon Marlow <simonmar at microsoft.com>**20070309155022
 'setup makefile' generates a Makefile that performs the steps
 necessary to compile the Haskell sources to object code.  This only
 works for libraries, and only with GHC right now.
 
 Instead of simply 'setup build', you can do this:
 
   $ ./setup makefile
   $ make
   $ ./setup build
 
 where './setup makefile' does the preprocessing and generates a
 Makefile tailored to the current package.  'make' will build all the
 Haskell code to object files, and 'setup build' will build any C code
 and the library archives.
 
 The reason for all this is that you can say 'make -j' and get a
 parallel build, or you can say
 
   make dist/build/Foo.o EXTRA_HC_OPTS=-keep-s-file
 
 to compile a single file with extra options.

 packages we depend on. This is necessary when haddocking a group of

[revise Paths module for the Hugs target
Ross Paterson <ross at soi.city.ac.uk>**20061108223349
 
 When targetting Hugs, the Paths module now uses prefix-independent
 paths relative to the location of the Main module of the program,
 on all platforms.
 
 For the Hugs target, this replaces the code using GetModuleFileNameA(),
 which never worked.  Behaviour under GHC should be unchanged.
