Comment (by igloo):
Good point. Currently the code (in Cabal's
`Distribution/Simple/SrcDist.hs`) is:
{{{
let tarBallFilePath = targetPref </> tarBallName pkg_descr <.> "tar.gz"
rawSystemProgram verbosity tarProg
["-C", tmpDir, "-czf", tarBallFilePath, tarBallName pkg_descr]
return tarBallFilePath
}}}
So I think we want this instead:
{{{
let tarFilePath = targetPref </> tarBallName pkg_descr <.> "tar"
tarBallFilePath = tarFilePath <.> "gz"
rawSystemProgram verbosity tarProg
["-cf", tarFilePath, "-C", tmpDir, tarBallName pkg_descr]
rawSystemProgram verbosity gzipProg
[tarFilePath]
removeFile tarFilePath
return tarBallFilePath
}}}
A couple of problems:
* We don't actually tell gzip where to put the output, but I can't see a
way to do so without messing with stdout
* We will have to add `gzipProg`, thus changing the API
It feels to me like the right thing to do though.
