Imports buildVerbose from Distribution.Simple.Setup ( BuildFlags(..) )
however the flag has been renamed to buildVerbosity and with a different
type. I would export a compat function but it would not help here since
the Setup script expects it to be a record selector from BuildFlags.
Cabal-1.4 contained a dodgy hack to make this continue to work, but I'm
not doing that again.
If I added a compat function then we could at least make it work with
both ghc/cabal versions with a single implementation. So I might do that
and do point releases of these packages, if Simon thinks that's ok.
Really of course both packages should stop calling an external perl and
other similar madness.
I can stop calling Perl, but I still need to run CPP, so I still need the
runProgram stuff, which means I still need buildVerbose/buildVerbosity. As
far as I can see, you could export a compatibility shim called buildVerbose
without any difficulty, all I have to do is remove the explicit import
list. Or is there a better fix you had in mind?
Cheers,
Simon
