Test build against GHC 9.2

and publish to Hackage once it's working.

[jamestmartin]

I haven't tested this beyond a "hello world" app, but Scotty builds with the appropriate patches to its dependencies. Right now the dependencies which need a GHC 9.2 patch uploaded to hackage are:

• hs-memory (https://github.com/vincenthz/hs-memory/pull/87)
• basement (https://github.com/haskell-foundation/foundation/pull/555)
• cryptonite (https://github.com/haskell-crypto/cryptonite/pull/354)

It's unclear why these PRs have not been merged.

I can build a project dependent on Scotty using this cabal.project to forcibly use the patched dependencies:

packages: .

I think that https://github.com/josephcsible/cryptonite is rebased, therefore:

i will look into this when i get home. i’d prefer not to depend on off-hackage commits, though.

I totally agree. I was just testing 9.2 in general.

Oh! I understand. Sorry for the confusion on my part!

No problem at all.

Btw: I understand that the 3 libraries mentioned have new releases now. I managed to compile a "hello world" Scotty (v0.12) application with stock dependencies the way cabal has resolved them (without pinning to off-hackage commits). That should be good news.

Scotty is now in Stackage LTS 19.2 (on GHC 9.0.x) and Stackage Nightly (on GHC 9.2.x), so I'll close this issue. Thank you very much, @jamestmartin and @vst, for doing the prep work to make sure that builds would go smoothly ahead of Stackage! Your help is appreciated, and it made sure we could avoid getting into a rushed situation if, say, the build failed on these GHC versions for some reason and we only learned about it when Stackage incremented its GHC. Thanks again!
