autopack

autopack copied to clipboard

This makes two changes:

• For compatibility with 3.4+ without warnings, fromComponents has been replaced with a call to fromString and intercalate.
• For compatibility with 3.6+, Autopack.hs now uses the C preprocessor with Cabal's version flags to handle a breaking change in the Cabal API around hsSourceDirs, which are now SymbolicPaths instead of FilePaths.

(I know getSymbolicPath says "Don't use this in new code", but I can't find any alternative - in the Cabal codebase, it is used in new code.)

Gently poke about this (@chshersh, @vrom911). I have own suggestion to just make shim for old cabal versions:

#if !MIN_VERSION_Cabal(3,6,0)
-- shim for Cabal =< 3.6
getSymbolicPath :: FilePath -> FilePath
getSymbolicPath = id
#endif

then use getSymbolicPath unconditionally.

Hi @avnik,

I'm not maintaining Kowainik projects anymore so you don't need to ping me 🙂

@chshersh So this project actually abandoned (same for co-log/relude?)

@ivb-supercede could one of us overtake it upstream?

It looks to me like colog and relude are still being maintained.

We can take over maintenance of autopack in order to publish this fix, if it's necessary.
