haskell-docs has wrong dependency on haddock-api #27864

Open ivan-m opened 7 years ago

ivan-m commented 7 years ago

Issue description

In nixpkgs, haskell-docs depends on the latest version of haddock-api; even though the version of haddock-api it successfully builds with on strongly depends on the version of GHC used.

haddock-api-2.18.1 now seems to be available, but haskell-docs needs 2.17.* for GHC 8.0.*, 2.16.* for 7.10.* and 2.15.* for 7.8.4 (which was when haddock split).

Steps to reproduce

$ nix-env -iA nixpkgs.haskellPackages.haskell-docs
installing ‘haskell-docs-4.2.7’
these derivations will be built:
  /nix/store/npjb0l65c0v817p4j04dsypf9z1nn4r2-haddock-api-2.18.1.drv
  /nix/store/33cz0g2vlzy91xa4sai585plv4k44akq-haskell-docs-4.2.7.drv

Thank you for your contributions.

This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.

If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.

Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

  1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
  2. Ask on the NixOS Discourse.
  3. Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.
