Re: [Haskell-cafe] external git dependency source in .cabal

It doesn't. The source repo is for hackage documentation, not package retrieval. On Sun, Nov 18, 2018 at 9:57 AM Ivan Perez wrote:

If you can do this, this is news to me.

See: https://www.haskell.org/cabal/users-guide/developing-packages.html

From what I understand, you cannot use this to point to repos for dependencies, only to indicate the repo for the package you are defining.

You'd have to publish pack1 somewhere (on hackage or in your own hackage server), or use a different tool to declare the dependency. I don't know if cabal's new-build system addresses this at all.

Hello, I'm trying to reference an external source of a package within a sandbox, using cabal 2.0.0.1:

source-repository head type: git location: <git URL of pack1>

executable myExe build-depends: base==4.10.1.0, pack1 -any

But "cabal -v install --only-dependencies" fails:

cabal: Encountered missing dependencies: pack1 -any

Any hint ?
