I've attached a darcs patch against the Cabal-1.6 branch (rather than
the head branch).
darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/cabal-branches/cabal-1.6/
If you or anyone else can test it on Windows that'd be great. I checked
it by setting the read-only attribute on a LICENSE file and where
previously the attribute would get copied (preventing further
re-installs) it is now not copied.
On Unix it should solve this problem:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/93
Though I've not tested that yet.
The patch for the 1.6 branch is fairly minimal and doesn't change any
API. In Cabal HEAD I'll do it slightly differently so that the code is
more consistent and comprehensible, but it involves api changes to
exposed utility functions.

* Add Distribution.Compat.CopyFile module
This is to work around the file permissions problems with the
standard System.Directory.copyFile function. When installing
files we do not want to copy permissions or attributes from the
source files. On unix we want to use specific permissions and
on windows we want to inherit default permissions. On unix:
copyOrdinaryFile sets the permissions to -rw-r--r--
copyExecutableFile sets the permissions to -rwxr-xr-x

* Use copyOrdinaryFile and copyExecutableFile instead of copyFile

Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20081002074142
Previously we said a package graph was inconsistent if two

versions. Now we say that two such dependencies on different
versions are ok if there is a direct dependency between those
two package versions. So if your package graph ends up with
both base 3 and base 4 in it, then that's ok because base 3
directly depends on base 4, so we declare it not to be an
inconsistency. This removes the scary warnings at configure
time (fixing ticket #366) and also adjusts the invariant and
assertion of the InstallPlan ADT in cabal-install.

Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20080831215551
We allow extra rgs and the location of programs to be given to
the build and haddock commands, not just at configure time. The
code to do this is now simpler and more general. This should not
be the default use mode however since it involves configuring
the programs each time where as doing it at configure time allows
it to be done once and saved. Further, specifying a different
version of the program at build time than at configure time is
likely to fail, especially for the compiler programs. Changing
the compiler really requires reconfiguring.

operations, and the places where we do are not performance sensitive
at all. So we use the PackageSet implementation which stores the

but with linear time implementations rather than log time. For the
merged module/type name use PackageIndex because that is what older
released versions exported, so less needless client breakage.

cc-options is for options to be passed to C compilations in the

InstalledPackageInfo, they get passed to C compilations in any package
that depends on this one, which could be disastrous. I've seen
cc-options like these:
cc-options: -optc-std=c99

Cc-options: -Wall
these are all clearly intended to be local, but are in fact currently
propagated to all dependent packages.

[Fix the semantics of the simple file globbing to be sane
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20080729152624
I realised when I started to document it that the behaviour
was not terribly consistent or sensible. The meaning now is:
The limitation is that * wildcards are only allowed in
place of the file name, not in the directory name or
file extension. In particular, wildcards do not include
directories contents recursively. Furthermore, if a
wildcard is used it must be used with an extension, so
"data-files: data/*" is not allowed. When matching a
wildcard plus extension, a file's full extension must
match exactly, so "*.gz" matches "foo.gz" but not
"foo.tar.gz".
The reason for providing only a very limited form of wildcard
is to concisely express the common case of a large number of
related files of the same file type without making it too easy
to accidentally include unwanted files.

the ordinary Ord instance is much simpler. The fact that listing the

['.' should not always be in hs-source dirs

We changed the parsing of list fields in the .cabal file so that it
adds to the current value rather than replacing it. This allows you
to put multiple entries for a list field and they all get
concatenated. However that means that the '.' in the hsSourceDirs of
emptyBuildInfo is always added to and not replaced like we did
previously. That's not what we want in this case. We want to use '.'
for hsSourceDirs *only* if hsSourceDirs is otherwise null. As it
happens, due to the way the configurations code works, we're already
filling in the default if it'd otherwise be null so we do not need
'.' in the emptyBuildInfo at all.

For bool valued flags we were always producing the command line
string corresponding to a false flag value, even if the flag was
not set. For example we'd always get "--disable-shared".
It is important for cabal-install to be able to take an empty set
of flags, override a few flags and turn the flags back into
command line strings without getting a lot of extra defaults.
Partly this is because we have to work with older versions of the
Cabal library command line which does not recognise the new options.

Only applies to list fields, for single fields the second value is taken

Really we should just declare up front what kind of field it is and

Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20080423190243
Previously we rejected all such flags but that posed the problem that older

could not actually follow the advice and use the extenion. So now we only
warn about -X flags if they refer to old extensions that Cabal 1.1.6 knew
about. If the .cabal file specifies cabal-version: >= 1.2 or similar

[Don't nub extra-libs in unionBuildInfo
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20080420192312
It's possible that we sometimes need to list the same library
more than once if there are circular symbol references.

[Fix unionBuildInfo
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20080420180520
Fix ticket #264 to use nub only on the fields which are treated as sets.
Probably we should be using the right types and mappend for each field.
Change to construct a new value from scratch rather than overriding one
of the two args. This helps to make sure we're updating all the field
as we get a warning if we miss any. Turns out we were missing the ghc
profiling and shared libs options which meant they were getting dropped.
That had the effect of ghc-prof-options: in .cabal files being ignored.
Thanks to 'midfield' from #haskell for spotting this.

[Change dependency resolution algorithm.
Thomas Schilling <nominolo at gmail.com>**20080413131807
There were two reasons to do this. Firstly, this formulation makes it
easier to add the --constraint command line flag that adds additional
constraints on the packages that should be used.
Secondly, with the orgininal algorithm it was possible to satisfy the
constraint "foo < 1, foo > 2" if we had two versions of package "foo"
which each satisfy one constraint. This patch fixes this by requiring
the same package to satisfy both constraints (which of course is
impossible in this case).

[fix for #187 -- directory of Paths_packagename is included when looking for source files

[Check for the required cabal version early in parsing
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20080409154655
Previously we only checked the "cabal-version" field after parsing
and all other configure processing. If the package really needs a
later Cabal version it is of course highly likely that parsing or
configure are going to fail and the user is not going to get the
helpful error message about the version of Cabal required. So now
we do the check early during parsing. If a later version is
required and parsing subsequently fails, we now report the version
issue, not the subsequent parse error. If parsing succeeds we
still issue a warning which should be a useful hint to the user if
subsequent configure processing fails.

[Use relative file paths in .cabal parse error messages
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20080409154030
Do this by normalising the file path in the error message
and when looking for .cabal files, by looking in '.' rather
than the absolute path of the current directory.

[Fix for detecting ~/.cabal/ dir as a .cabal file
Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>**20080409073236
Which happened if you use cabal configure in your home dir.
Now produced the right error message, or if you actually put
a cabal project in your home dir, it might actually work.
Also, do the same fix for findHookedPackageDesc.
