Seems cabal defaults to trying to satisfy both flags, which cannot works,
and does not fall back to only selecting one, as hoped. While users could
manually specify flags, I don't want to require that to build, so let's
just require the newer yesod version when building with cabal.
Old 1.0.1 version is still supported as well. Cabal autodetects
which version is available, but in the Makefile, WITH_OLD_YESOD
has to be configured appropriately.
I have not squashed all the $newline warnings with the new Yesod.
They should go away eventually anyway as Yesod moves past that transition.
Avoid crashing when "git annex get" fails to download from one location,
and falls back to downloading from a second location.
The problem is that git annex get calls download recursively from within
itself if the first download attempt fails. So the first time through, it
writes a transfer info file, which is then overwritten on the second,
recursive call. Then on cleanup, it tries to delete the file twice, which
of course doesn't work.
Fixed both by not crashing if the transfer file is removed, and by
changing Get to not run download recursively like that. It's the only
thing that did so, and it just seems like a bad idea.
This allows me to not build-depend on blaze-markup, which was causing
me some trouble when tring to build with cabal on debian. Seems debian
ships Text.Blaze.Renderer.String in two packages.
Note that here I don't need blaze-markup for cabal to succeed, but Jimmy
reports he does. Seems like Text.Blaze.Renderer.String moved from blaze to
blaze-markup in some version.
Test suite now passes with -threaded!
I traced back all the hangs with -threaded to System.Cmd.Utils. It seems
it's just crappy/unsafe/outdated, and should not be used. System.Process
seems to be the cool new thing, so converted all the code to use it
instead.
In the process, --debug stopped printing commands it runs. I may try to
bring that back later.
Note that even SafeSystem was switched to use System.Process. Since that
was a modified version of code from System.Cmd.Utils, it needed to be
converted too. I also got rid of nearly all calls to forkProcess,
and all calls to executeFile, which I'm also doubtful about working
well with -threaded.
The `cabal install` is happy as long as the files it needs are
present, but `cabal sdist` will only package up files you tell it to.
So, generate the source tarball ourselves.
The source tarball is generated by make-sdist.sh, which uses cabal
sdist to calculate the package name. Could also generate the name
from the 'Version:' field in git-annex.cabal.
I have a new idea: instead of the template-based approaches that work
around cabals requirement that you list all files to put in the sdist,
we can simply generate the sdist ourselves, with the files we
want. Take that cabal!
