#937: cabal-install cannot pass package ids to the build process
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Reporter: kosmikus | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.16
Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.14.0
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion:
Platform: |
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
The solver determines an install plan that fixes package ids of installed
packages.
However, the Setup interface currently does not allow us to specify
package ids once we start building; we can only fix the versions.
This can lead to problems in situations where multiple instances of the
same package version are installed on a system, and the install plan
selects one, but we cannot uniquely communicate that to the builder.
