ANN: cabal-install 1.22, 1.20 & 1.18 releases
by Ryan Thomas 31 Jan '16

Hi all, I have released 1.22.8.0, 1.20.2.0 and 1.18.2.0 of cabal-install, after a fix was found for #3003 <https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/3003>: If you encounter an error similar to the following when running `cabal install cabal-install` or 'cabal install Cabal': /tmp/cabal-tmp-7012/Cabal-1.22.6.0/Distribution/Version.hs:135:10: Duplicate instance declarations: instance Binary Version -- Defined at /tmp/cabal-tmp-7012/Cabal-1.22.6.0/Distribution/Version.hs:135:10 instance [safe] Binary Version -- Defined in ‘binary-0.8.0.0:Data.Binary.Class’ try running 'cabal install -j1 Cabal' to work around the 'binary-0.8' compatibility issue. Cheers, ryan

Cabal 1.24 status update
by Mikhail Glushenkov 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

Hi *, Just a short update on the status of the 1.24 release. Since the GHC 8 release has been delayed somewhat, I've postponed creating the 1.24 branch. Will do that either before GHC 8 RC3 release or GHC 8 final (if there won't be a GHC 8 RC3). Here's the list of remaining unmerged PRs that I plan to merge before creating the branch: Cabal: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/2540 - Add support for platform libraries (needs rebasing) https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/2522 - Implement bash (with globstar) style globbing (requires some work on my part) cabal-install: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/2916 - Fix space leak in solver backjumping https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/2914 - Fix space leaks in dependency solver logging. https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/2774 - Add the gen-bounds command https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/2640 - init-config https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/2882 - status command Also, https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/3003 must be resolved before the release.

ANN: Cabal 1.22.7.0, 1.20.0.4 and 1.18.1.7 have been released
by Ryan Thomas 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

In order to address #3003 <https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/3003> a new release of Cabal library has been made off of the 1.22, 1.20 and 1.18 branches. This is now available on hackage.haskell.org and the downloads page. The travis-ci tests for the 1.18 branch are currently failing as they are unable to contact the GCE ubuntu mirrors, once this is resolved and they pass I will close #3003. Further updates on this issue will be available there also. Cheers, Ryan

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Doc generation?

Note that if you do this, people who install your package will locally still have the documentation bug, so it's probably better to upload a new version anyway.

Doc generation?
by Noon Silk 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

Does anyone know what is happening here? Not a single one of the packages on http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/recent has docs generated at the moment. Some older ones, upload this year, also do not - http://hackage.haskell.org/package/pipes-concurrency -- Noon Silk, ن https://silky.github.io/ "Every morning when I wake up, I experience an exquisite joy — the joy of being this signature."

Is late > January possible? Yes, I think it should be possible. In fact, all Cabal library changes required by nix-local-build and hackage-security are already in. I plan to merge some remaining open PRs and then create the 1.24 branch.
