Add a cabal file to repo #60

Closed ersran9 closed 4 years ago

ersran9 commented 4 years ago

Right now cabal users cannot use ghc-source-gen via a cabal.project file as a source-repository-package - since it insists on a cabal file. I'd be happy to provide a PR if its okay.

Thank you for bringing this up. I would rather not check in the cabal file into this repository since it's generated from the package.yaml file. This issue seems like a limitation of Cabal; in fact I did find an upstream bug to support this kind of setup in cabal.project files: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/5785

If you need to use it from git, I suggest keeping a fork that has the .cabal file. I'll also attempt to keep the Hackage releases reasonably up-to-date so they can be used directly.

Ah okay. I think we'll keep a fork then as you suggest and close the issue. Thanks for the clarification.
