* Remove 'CommandDelegate' in favour of abstracting the fallback in 'commandsRun', there is a new variant 'commdandRunWithFallback' which takes a continuation - This restores the modularity between the `Cabal` library and `cabal-install` as now `Cabal` doesn't need to know anything about the external command interface. - Fixes #9403 * Set the $CABAL environment variable to the current executable path - This allows external commands to be implemented by calling $CABAL, which is strongly preferred to linking against the Cabal library as there is no easy way to guantee your tool and `cabal-install` link against the same `Cabal` library. - Fixes #9402 * Pass the name of the argument - This allows external commands to be implemented as symlinks to an executable, and multiple commands can be interpreted by the same executable. - Fixes #9405 * `cabal help <cmd>` is interpreted as `cabal-<cmd> --help` for external commands. - This allows the `help` command to also work for external commands and hence they are better integrated into cabal-install. - Fixes #9404 The tests are updated to test all these additions. These features bring the external command interface up to par with the cargo external command interface.Matthew Pickering authored* Remove 'CommandDelegate' in favour of abstracting the fallback in 'commandsRun', there is a new variant 'commdandRunWithFallback' which takes a continuation - This restores the modularity between the `Cabal` library and `cabal-install` as now `Cabal` doesn't need to know anything about the external command interface. - Fixes #9403 * Set the $CABAL environment variable to the current executable path - This allows external commands to be implemented by calling $CABAL, which is strongly preferred to linking against the Cabal library as there is no easy way to guantee your tool and `cabal-install` link against the same `Cabal` library. - Fixes #9402 * Pass the name of the argument - This allows external commands to be implemented as symlinks to an executable, and multiple commands can be interpreted by the same executable. - Fixes #9405 * `cabal help <cmd>` is interpreted as `cabal-<cmd> --help` for external commands. - This allows the `help` command to also work for external commands and hence they are better integrated into cabal-install. - Fixes #9404 The tests are updated to test all these additions.
