handling missing haskell system packages #67

Closed mikelpr closed 2 years ago

happens with my project that depends on gi-gst that dnf builddep *.spec coughs up:

okay so, ghc-gi-gst* doesn't exist at all on fedora's repos. is there a way for cabal-rpm to fall back on hackage when a package is missing from the repos?

Well you can use cabal-rpm install to generate them on the fly.

You can also submit the packages for review to be included in Fedora. :-)

((It is actually also true though there are some exceptional packages that do not have prof: mostly meta-packages.))

Alternatively there is also --standalone: it really depends on your needs, etc.

(Are you trying to build with gi-gtk-4? :-)

I'd like to get that into Fedora 37 at least.
