3 years ago Addressing this requires knowing who the owner of the cabal/ subsite is.
Next action: Make a PR to https://github.com/haskell/cabal-website
Waiting for: Response to https://github.com/haskell/cabal-website/pull/15
Waiting for: The changes to appear on https://www.haskell.org/cabal/FAQ.html
https://www.haskell.org/cabal/FAQ.html is almost all severely outdated (💀)
💀 Dependencies conflict
Refers to behaviour from old cabal that doesn't really occur with modern cabal (say from 3.0 onwards). It mentions GHC 6.10!
💀(?) Hidden packages (a)
I think cabal now tells you this information itself now, doesn't it?
💀 Hidden packages (b)
It's about a library split that happened in ghc 6.8. No longer relevant.
💀? runProcess: does not exist
This may be outdated. The issue link is certainly dead http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/403
💀? ExitFailure 1
Does this still apply?
💀 runghc Setup complains of missing packages
This seems to be referring to a rather old way of installing packages. It would probably be best if it were removed. I really doubt it is a frequently asked question.
💀 Parsec 2 vs 3
Outdated. Remove it. Highly doubtful that it is frequently asked.
💀 Cabal goes into an infinite loop / runs out of memory
"This happens when you use cabal-install version 0.5.x with ghc-6.10"
💀 Internal error: invalid install plan
Suggests upgrading to "cabal-install >= 0.10". Severely out of date. Remove it.
