Aha. I'm looking for something similar from time to time. I think (despite being misnamed) something like cabal install --stop-after-building --enable-tests in a development directory might be what I (and perhaps you) want. I'd also like cabal get/clone/whatever pkgname that's similar to "cabal unpack" but uses the repository information from the .cabal file to clone the development repository. Anyway, all the patches regarding --enable-test from this thread are now in the cabal-install repository. Testing and further feedback welcome :) Cheers, Andres -- Andres Löh, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, http://www.well-typed.com _______________________________________________ cabal-devel mailing list cabal-devel@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cabal-devel
