I believe that neither the [online documentation](https://ghc.gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/doc/users_guide/utils.html#writing-haskell-interfaces-to-c-code-hsc2hs) or the in-app documentation identify that `hsc2hs` now supports 'response files'. There are references to 'response files' in the Change Log. However, the...

I think it is an upstream problem. See GHC issue [#22146](https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/22146).

Windows, foreign-library, Cabal-3.10.3.0 regression in linker

I have a simple package `foo` with Cabal file: ~~~yaml cabal-version: 2.2 name: foo version: 0.1.0.0 foreign-library foo type: native-shared other-modules: Lib hs-source-dirs: src build-depends: base >=4.7 && configure foo>...

**What is wrong with the docs?** GHC's `-split-objs` flag was deprecated in favour of `-split-sections` in GHC 8.2.1 and is not supported on any platform from GHC 8.10.1. You would...

Consider forking `cryptonite-conduit` as `crypton-conduit`

My question at https://github.com/yesodweb/wai/pull/931#issuecomment-1652656336 was likely posted in the wrong place and is better raised here. If the repository for [package `cryptonite-conduit`](https://github.com/haskell-crypto/cryptonite-conduit) is forked here, I'll raise a pull request...

Cabal (the library) advises use of `extensions:` when that field is deprecated

2

Motivation: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/6589 If a Cabal file uses `ghc-options:` to set language extensions, Cabal (the library) will advise the use of `extensions:` even when `extensions:` has been deprecated in favour of...

Cabal ignores `hs-source-dirs:` if `main-is:` is a C source file

23

**Describe the bug** After GHC 9.8.2/Cabal-3.10.2.0, and by GHC 9.10.1/Cabal-3.12.0.0, Cabal (the library) ignores `hs-source-dirs` if `main-is` is a C source file. Previously, Cabal respected `hs-source-dirs`. **To Reproduce** Imagine a...

Should `includes:` field be removed from the specification?

4

GHC has ignored it since GHC 6.10.1 (November 2008) and Cabal has not supported GHC versions before GHC 6.12 since `Cabal-2.0.0.2` (July 2017). Given the passage of time, perhaps the...
