Stop using old-time #15

The package is hard to install and not required by most things. It would be good if cpphs switched to time, which makes the installation process on Windows a bit smoother.

We have a similar request in Agda from our users on Windows (see https://github.com/agda/agda/issues/3223).

CC'ing @Saizan.

I would support this request as it makes installing under windows a pain, especially if one does not want to install some sort of bash (which all have their own problems)

Note that if you use Stack this "just works" - that's the easiest way to go.

Kamayuq commented 4 years ago

In this case true, but there are other cases where stack has problems (e.g. with the language server plugin) because there has been no release for latest GHC and Cabal. I believe it is desirable to have a low friction working Cabal build.

I just uploaded cpphs-1.20.9 to Hackage. Apologies: I updated the package dependency locally a long time ago, but never got round to publishing it.

Thank you!

Thanks Malcolm!
