 This is for configure flags that we use in the configure command in the
 cabal command line tool that are not present in runghc Setup configure
 command line interface. These are flags that we are moving from the
 install command, so that we can also use them for the configure command.
 Initially it's just the flags for specifying package version preferences
 and  the cabal library version. We'll add constraints later.

[Update to using HTTP-4000.x
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20090116135646
 This should fix a long-standing bug with http proxies (ticket #352)
 It should also make downloads faster, or at least use less memory.
] 
[Parse compiler field from old config files correctly
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20090116002851
 Really old versions of cabal-install generated a default config
 containing "compiler: GHC". Sadly the new way we generate the
 config file parser from the command line parser means we end up
 with a case-sensitive parser as it only matches the exact
 command line flags. So we hack it and add in a traditional
 parser for that field only. Really the command line and config
 file infrastructure needs rewriting again. Sigh.

[Rewrite the bootstrap.sh script
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20090115102210
 Hopefully more useful and more robust. In particular it does not
 download and install packages where suitable versions are already
 installed. It also checks for deps.

[Don't add installed constraints system packages that are not installed
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20090114143540
 In particular fixes a problem (ticket #439) where we required the
 installed version of ghc-prim with compilers that do not have that
 package such as ghc-6.8 and older, hugs, nhc, lhc etc.

Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20090114003329
 Previously we omitted the line if it was not installed, or was
 not available. However that confused people because it was not
 obvious that it would list both. Now it shows something like:

   cabal install foo                 Package from the hackage server
   cabal install foo-1.0             Specific version of a package

[Use a more precise package substitution test in improvePlan
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20081219215922
 This is where we take a valid plan and we "improve" it by swapping
 installed packages for available packages wherever possible. This
 change is to the condition we use in deciding if it is safe to use
 the installed package in place of a reinstall. Previously we checked
 that the dependencies of the installed version were exactly the same
 as the dependencies we were planning to reinstall with. That was
 valid but rather conservative. It caused problems in some situations
 where the installed package did not exactly match the available
 package (eg when using development versions of a package or of ghc).
 What we do now is test if the extra constraints implied by selecting
 the installed version are consistent with the existing set of
 constraints. This involves threading the constraint set around. In
 theory this should even cope with adding additional packages to the
 plan as a result of selecting an installed package.
] 
[Use installed constraints instead of hiding versions of the base package
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20081219193740
 We want to stop cabal-install from accidentally trying to upgrade
 the base package since this doesn't work in most cases. We used to
 achieve that by deleting the base package from the available package
 index. We now do it by leaving the package index as is and instead
 adding a constraint that we pick only an installed version of base.
 This is a nicer hack and has the potential to give better error
 messages.
] 
[Extend the invariant on the Constraints ADT
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20081219192309
 It now carries around the original version of the database
 purely so that it can do a much more extensive consistency
 check. Packages are never gained or lost, just transfered
 between pots in various slightly tricky ways.
] 
[Fix constraint set handling for installed constraints
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20081219182328
 A rather subtle bug. The code was actually correct but the transitionsTo
 assertion was not accounting for a transition between the case where
 a package's available version had been excluded and then the whole thing
 got excluded by a version constraint. It counted one side as a loss
 without a corresponding gain on the other side.
] 
[Add a install/upgrade --preference='foo < 2' flag
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20081218213849
 This behaves just like the preferred-versions file in the hackage index
 but it can be specified on the command line or in a config file.
] 
[Generalise the way preferences are specified to the resolver
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20081218204917
 We still provide a default global policy, but now we give a
 list of per-package preferences which can be on the version
 or installed state. Later preferences override earlier ones.

Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20081122163026
 It's not specific to LHC. Normally we prevent upgrading of base

 However when the user explicitly asks to upgrade base then we
 let them do that and they can keep the pieces when it breaks.

[Fix selecting paired packages
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20081007062930
 Previously when we selected base 4 (and as a consequence
 slected base 3 too) we didn't properly trace the dependencies
 of base 3 so if nothing actually required base 3 then we ended
 up with base 3 in the solution but not with syb which it
 depends on. Consequently the solution was invalid.
 Now we select the paired package properly (hopefully).
] 
[Take preferred versions into account in dependency planning
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20081006055129
 This means we can now globally prefer base 3 rather than 4.
 However we need to be slightly careful or we end up deciding
 to do silly things like rebuild haskell98 against base 3.
 That would happen because the h98 package doesn't constrain
 the choice to one or the other and we would prefer base 3.
 So we have to add that we really prefer whatever it uses
 currently (if any).

[When finalising paired packages, cope with there being multiple choices
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20081005053821
 For ordinary packages we selected a single version which means
  we added an equality constraint. As a consequence we used to
 assume there was only one version left when finalising. For
 paired packages there may be two versions left if the package
 did not directly constrain the choice to just one. If there is
 more than one version remaining then we have to pick between
 them. At the moment we still pick the highest version, but
 later we can take a global preference or polciy into account.

Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20081005051919
 The trick is that when applying constraints to paired

 would only exclude one then we discard the constraint.

Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20081004235006
 Each time we apply a constraint we can end up excluding some
 extra package. Report that list of packages because it is
 quite interesting information to get insight into what the
 resolver is actually doing.

[Separate the construction of the exclusion list from its use
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20081004234421
 Previously directly inserted packages into the excluded package
 list. Now we generate a list of them and then add them. We want
 the list of newly excluded packages separately because it is
 interesting information to report to the user when -v is on.

[Generalise the logging of selected and discarded packages
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20081004232555
 Allow for selecting several packages in one go.
 Currently when we select a package we only list the over versions
 of the same package that that excludes, and not the other packages
 we exclude by applying the dependency constraints of the selected
 package. In future we would like to do that so we now report the
 package name of discards not just the version. Though we do group
 by the package name to avoid too much repition.

[Fix infinite loop in the TopDown dependency resolver
Andrea Vezzosi <sanzhiyan at gmail.com>**20080925181441
 The loop occurred only if a package depended on another one
 with the same name, e.g. base-3.0.3.0 <- base-4.0.0.0

Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20080826233400
 Patch from jsnx. Fixes ticket #343. Also, use "cd blah; cd .."
 instead of "pushd blah; popd" as some shells lack pushd/popd

[Use mplus not mappend for combining tar filename checks
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20080826232606
 mappend would join the error messages in the case that both
 checks failed. Also the monoid instance was new in base 3.
