Cabal's
copy
used to not allow components to be specified, and Stack had to build all executable components at least once forcopy
not to fail. This pull request continues to do that only if the Cabal version is sufficiently old (beforeCabal-2.0.0.0
). Otherwise, it copies only the library, sub-library, foreign library and executable components that were to be built. As a consquence, it does not need to build all executable components at least once for the Cabal version to be satisfied.The tutorial part of the online guide to Stack is updated accordingly.
Please also shortly describe how you tested your change. Bonus points for added tests! Tested locally, by reference to output of
internal-libraries
integration test.
