Please add link to new network-uri-flag package in `.cabal` description

[hvr]

See http://hackage.haskell.org/package/network-uri-flag

The network-uri-flag package is a good alternative so ppl don't have to copy'n'paste the flag(network-uri) boilerplate into every package wanting to support network-2.5, so IMHO this should be mentioned as an alternative in network-uri.cabal's description.

PS: If you prefer, I can submit a PR

[ezrakilty]

Great idea! I revised the description in https://github.com/haskell/network-uri/commit/c6441d19e3ef4286a0c4ab92ee6977ff6ba27f17

What do you think?

[hvr]

@ezrakilty wording looks fine to me; I've just added a minor note re hyperlink-markup

Btw, I suspect that the == markup won't work yet on Hackage (we need to fix that on Hackage!), but that's no reason not to use it... Hackage needs to support it! :-)

[hvr]

@ezrakilty is a new release of network-uri planned any time soon? If not, do you mind if I revise the meta-data on Hackage to include c6441d1?

[ezrakilty]

Apologies for the delay. The continuous build has been broken for Cabal reasons that I haven't understood, which is what has kept me from dealing with this.

Are you saying that it's possible to update the metadata without doing a release? If so, I didn't realize that, and yes, we should do that. If you can do it straight away, then yes, feel free. Otherwise I'll try to get to it in the next day or so.

[hvr]

@ezrakilty I'll take a look at the travis issue first (next time, please nag me if you run into problems with Travis :-) )

See #34

Are you saying that it's possible to update the metadata without doing a release?

Yes... :-)

I went ahead and revised the meta-data (see https://hackage.haskell.org/package/network-uri), and while at it I improved the markup a bit, see https://github.com/haskell/network-uri/pull/34/commits/8d14e1b063a1e0109b0f35ae06aea64bd248102c in #34 I hope you don't mind... :-)

[ezrakilty]

Ah, I only just made the connection that you're the one behind the travis integration. Terrific! Thank you for bailing me out.

Your edits to the metadata look great.

One small thing on the Travis script: The old script had a "head" version which always built against the latest version of GHC, which was good because it would go off when there was some kind of breaking change. I'll take a stab at integrating that into the new script.

[hvr]

Adding head should be straightforward (just extend the tested-with-line, and re-run the script generator tool):
