Drop official support / updates for debian 9 #48

Closed AlistairB closed 2 years ago

AlistairB commented 2 years ago

Just when I was ready for some quiet time around here.. ;)

So it seems as of cabal-install 3.6.2.0 it no longer supports debian 9.

We could keep updating deb 9, but leave cabal on 3.6.0.0 or we could drop support. My inclination is to drop support as it could be confusing having differing versions of cabal in stretch vs buster.

The docs state Additionally, we support the two most versions of Debian (stable and oldstable) as variants, with the most recent being the default if not specified.. oldstable is buster at this point with bullseye being released. Although cabal, ghc and possibly stack do not support deb 11 yet.

Anyway, I propose to remove deb 9 from the listed images and no longer update them. Then add deb 11 once haskell ecosystem supports it.

@psftw No rush on this one, but what do you think?

Supporting the two most recent versions of Debian is a goal of sorts, but if we are limited by upstream packages then we don't have a choice. What you propose sounds good to me, with the addition that we should call it out in the docs. Essentially 8.10.7 & 9.0.1 would be the last versions to support a -stretch variant due to cabal>=3.6.2.0 not supporting it. If we can only support Debian 10 in the short term, and add 11 later, that's the best we can do.

due to cabal>=3.6.2.0 not supporting it to be clear, it's no longer "supported" by Debian either, though official images folks have not tracked us down and demanded we upgrade yet

Sounds good. I'll update the following. Noting that for now we only support buster / oldstable for now. We can probably also drop the note at this point.

Additionally, we support the two most versions of Debian (stable and oldstable) as variants, with the most recent being the default if not specified.

Note: haskell:8.8.3 was updated from Debian Stretch to Buster, so you will need to specify haskell:8.8.3-stretch to stick with Stretch in this particular case.

https://github.com/AlistairB/docs/commit/816398252362e23a7ead45f6fd9a2196be268850 is the doc change I am thinking of. Look ok?
