#2662: should install ghc-pkg with versioned name again
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: duncan | Owner: igloo
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: Build System
Version: 6.9 | Severity: normal
Keywords: | Testcase:
Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Os: Linux
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
The build system has always installed ghc and ghc-pkg as a link to ghc-x.y
and ghc-pkg-x.y on unix systems. In the current ghc-6.10 builds this is
only done for ghc and ghci, not for ghc-pkg. It should be done for both.
It's very useful for people who install multiple versions of ghc
simulataniously. Also cabal expects to find ghc-pkg with a corresponding
name to ghc. If you specify `cabal install -w ghc-6.10.1` then it will
look for `ghc-6.10.1` on the path and then look for `ghc-pkg-6.10.1` in
the same location.
