@alt-romes I tried running the Hackage benchmark manually on your branch, and I was able to reproduce the "Unknown" error. It indicates that the cabal under test failed but the...

We discussed code review at the last meeting Cabal meeting. I'd like to focus on the solver part of this pull request. If I understand correctly, @fgaz is interested in...

I like the idea of marking libraries test-only. I don't know of a way to do that with Cabal currently. Could we just add a new field to libraries, or...

I looked into the fetch command and found that it does run the dependency solver, and it takes other solver flags, like `--enable-tests` and `--prefer-oldest`, so I think that it...

> Hrm. The trick I suppose is that we can't resolve the conditionals prior to the solver, because it will use them in backtracking. But we do need these bounds...
