patch applied (cabal): Add Text instance for CompilerFlavor and CompilerId
by Duncan Coutts 22 Mar '08

22 Mar '08

Thu Mar 20 22:12:50 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Add Text instance for CompilerFlavor and CompilerId This is a tad subtle since we actually have two ways of parsing compiler flavours. One expects, or at least allows lower case names like "ghc" and "nhc98", the other uses Read/Show which gives "GHC" and "NHC". What we're doing here is only changing the first variety. The cases where we parse using Read (and display using Show) are not changed. At some point we'll switch those over to the more liberal parser, but not yet as we don't want to cause compatibility problems.

patch applied (cabal): Add Text instances for Version and VersionRange
by Duncan Coutts 22 Mar '08

22 Mar '08

Thu Mar 20 20:14:16 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Add Text instances for Version and VersionRange The instance for Version is in the Text module itself because the Version type is defined in base. This avoids an orphan instance.

patch applied (cabal): Add Text class for displaying and parsing values
by Duncan Coutts 22 Mar '08

22 Mar '08

Thu Mar 20 18:54:14 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Add Text class for displaying and parsing values This is intended to replace all these showFoo read/parseFoo functions we have all over the place. It's like the Read/Show classes but uses a half decent parser and pretty printer: class Text a where disp :: a -> Doc parse :: ReadP a This patch just adds the class and an instance for Bool, replacing the parseBool function used in a few places.

Three Cabal/Hackage GSoC project proposals
by Duncan Coutts 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

All, I've proposed three GSoC proposals on different aspects of Cabal and Hackage: * Cabal 'make-like' dependency framework http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/1552 * cabal-install package dependency resolution http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/1553 * Hackage build reporting http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/1554 This is in addition to the project that Neil proposed: * Hoogle 4 (using it as the main interface to the hackage website) http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/1429 I'd like to invite interested people to help improve the proposals and to invite students to look at these and consider them. I'd also like other people interested in mentoring any of these projects to sign up. In particular, students who are interested should email the cabal-devel and/or libraries list (though they'd have to subscribe I think) to express their interest and work with us on improving the detail of their proposal.
