#362: Disallow uploads of libraries that provide binaries called 'test' and
similar
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Reporter: guest | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2
Platform: |
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Some libraries (example, haskore), provide an executable called 'test' or
'Test' or other similarly named private test programs. These are however
installed onto the users system, or prevented from doing so, as they
conflict with /usr/bin/test
uploading should prevent and warn if people use unix builtin names as
executables, particularly 'test'.
