Re: [arch-haskell] Ghc 7.10.1 in repo [was: Re: Ghc 7.10.1 in testing repo]

The fix in github seems to work properly. I see what was the problem now. Are going to switch back to the derived instance for the new db and have a conversion function from old to new? On Tue, Apr 7, 2015 at 10:31 AM, Nicola Squartini wrote:

Thanks!

Luckily I found the old version of cblrepo in the mirror and I was able to downgrade. I'll test the Github change later.

Hi Magnus, and thanks for the upgrade!

You mentioned that cblrepo didn't make it, but since my last upgrade today I have version 0.15.0. And most importantly it gives an error message:

cblrepo: user error (JSON parsing failed)

whatever subcommand I try, even convertdb. Did the format change since the last version?

Nope, that's something else! I see it as well.

I fixed the dependencies soon after that earlier email and ran all the tests. One crucial test is missing though: run cblrepo against an existing repo. Aeson has changed defaults in the past, I'll see if it's something like that this time too.

Actually it's a change to an underlying data type that has changed from being a String to a wrapped String resulting in the generated JSON instances differing. If I'm thinking correctly about it the required change is minimal, so hopefully I'll find the time to address this soon.

I have a fix in the repo on github[1], would you mind taking it for a spin and let me know if it's any good?
