Package Checking
|
|
data PackageCheck |
Results of some kind of failed package check.
There are a range of severities, from merely dubious to totally insane.
All of them come with a human readable explanation. In future we may augment
them with more machine readable explanations, for example to help an IDE
suggest automatic corrections.
| Constructors | PackageBuildImpossible | This package description is no good. There's no way it's going to
build sensibly. This should give an error at configure time.
| | PackageBuildWarning | A problem that is likely to affect building the package, or an
issue that we'd like every package author to be aware of, even if
the package is never distributed.
| | PackageDistSuspicious | An issue that might not be a problem for the package author but
might be annoying or determental when the package is distributed to
users. We should encourage distributed packages to be free from these
issues, but occasionally there are justifiable reasons so we cannot
ban them entirely.
| | PackageDistInexcusable | An issue that is ok in the author's environment but is almost
certain to be a portability problem for other environments. We can
quite legitimately refuse to publicly distribute packages with these
problems.

checkPackage :: GenericPackageDescription -> Maybe PackageDescription -> [PackageCheck] |
Check for common mistakes and problems in package descriptions.
This is the standard collection of checks covering all apsects except
for checks that require looking at files within the package. For those
see checkPackageFiles.
It requires the GenericPackageDescription and optionally a particular
configuration of that package. If you pass Nothing then we just check
a version of the generic description using flattenPackageDescription.

|
checkConfiguredPackage :: PackageDescription -> [PackageCheck] |
|
checkPackageFiles :: PackageDescription -> FilePath -> IO [PackageCheck] |
Sanity check things that requires IO. It looks at the files in the package
and expects to find the package unpacked in at the given filepath.
