@hvr are you aware of any stack.yaml
in the wild that cannot be parsed by the standards compliant parser?
I'm not aware of any... and I'm not sure how I can get my hands on a large enough quantity of stack.yaml
files; fwiw, https://github.com/erikd/jenga is also using HsYAML for parsing stack.yaml files... and I haven't heard any complaints yet.
Ok.
So, standard compliance is good, but in this case we care more about stack compatibility than standard compliance, and stack currently uses
yaml
.That said, as a user I won't complain unless stack accepts some stack.yaml files that stack2cabal rejects.
