hledger-ui is not in current stackage

[simonmichael]

hledger-ui (and hledger-iadd) has been excluded from stackage since nightly-2019-05-11 due to brick being excluded, due to data-clist being excluded since it does not build with QuickCheck-2.13.

[Waiting for: a stackage nightly containing 4732]

Please push a new release and let us know so we can package it.

[simonmichael]

I'm curious how your packaging process works, ie what's blocking you right now.

I hope to release hledger 1.15 on 8/1.

[Anachron]

Void Linux does only package releases, not a git-commit or similar.

Edit: I guess I could also create a patch and add it to hledger. Sorry, it's too early for me to think clearly.

[simonmichael]

Does Void Linux only package things in stackage ?

The hledger-ui-1.14 release on Hackage builds fine with cabal, and builds with stack if you specify a couple of extra deps on the command line (data-clist etc., see the stack.yaml circa 1.14).

I'm new to packaging haskell in Void Linux but I've not found any other build-style other than haskell-stack: https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/tree/master/common/build-style

Not sure whether we want to add hackage since stackage was working well enough for now. Do you think it will take a longer time until stackage is fixed?

[simonmichael]

I think it will be just a couple of days until commercialhaskell/stackage#4732 is merged and a new stackage nightly snapshot is released. Then you could use that latest snapshot.

But if you can choose any snapshot, you could also use any of these older ones containing hledger-ui-1.14.2, eg nightly-2019-05-11.

Or if you want to avoid duplicated effort you could hold off a week or so and package 1.15 instead of 1.14. Thanks for working on this.

[Anachron]

I'll probably wait until 1.15 is released which should also be after the stackage fixes (hopefully), that way I only have to handle packing it once.

hledger-ui (and hledger-iadd) are back in stackage as of nightly-2019-07-30, closing this issue.
