Add library to Stackage #20

Closed lancelet closed 4 years ago

lancelet commented 9 years ago

Currently, boxes is not included in any Stackage snapshots: https://www.stackage.org/package/boxes This means (among other things) that packages which depend upon boxes can't be built with the new stack build tool: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack

Including a package in Stackage is up to the package owner: https://github.com/fpco/stackage/#get-your-package-included The suggested approach seems to be to get the package building with Travis (to make sure it builds with latest dependencies, etc.), and then submit a PR against stackage.

It would be great it boxes can be added to Stackage.

I've been asleep at the wheel on this one. I'll try to get to it this week, but no guarantees.

In the mean time, one of my colleagues pointed out an escape hatch for stack; you can use the extra-deps configuration value to specify packages that should be fetched from Hackage instead: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/wiki/FAQ

btw, boxes is in Stackage now, as @phadej volunteered to be the one to investigate if builds start breaking with newer versions of things.

See: https://github.com/fpco/stackage/blob/89fb09abefae3e632d1d54964fbc422b7b890ab5/build-constraints.yaml#L1018

@hdgarrood, great to hear. Is there anything obvious I need to do to avoid breaking things for Stackage?

phadej commented 8 years ago

@treeowl Nothing particular. The same things asun avoiding to break others people builds. In particular bumping major versions on breaking changes.

@treeowl Can we close this ticket?
