 mouse009 | Cabal-3.12.1.0 has a regression (fails to search `hs-source-dirs:` for non-Haskell main). Is there any chance to see a new release that fixes it? Say, 3.12.2.0? | 02:31:15 |

 sm | cc-ing here FYI: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/MicroCabal (for MicroHs)
This repository contains a reimplementation of a subset of Cabal. Why a reimplementation? Because Cabal is not a Haskell tool, it is a ghc tool. A Haskell tool should be compilable by an implementation of Haskell2010, which Cabal is definitely not. The implementation assumes a Unix-like system with commands like wget and tar. To get a consistent set of packages MicroCabal uses Stackage to find compatible packages. So in a sense, MicroCabal is more like a MicroStackage.

 Hécate | Someone will reinvent it again by saying "MicroCabal is not a Haskell tool, it's a Haskell on linux tool" | 15:49:18 |
| Hécate | wget and tar | 15:49:46 |

| sm | great GHC/Cabal discussion on discourse | 16:25:39 |
| sm | I think every time someone says "nix-style builds" about Cabal, "stack-style builds" would be equivalent and clearer | 16:26:20 |
| sm | * I think every time someone says "nix-style builds" about Cabal, "stack-style builds" would have been a little clearer | 16:27:48 |
| sm | Or maybe not. I'm just affirming to myself that efficient content-hashed builds is the thing being referred to. | 16:28:32 |

. o O ( why drag nix into this, we have enough problems... :) Yep | 18:24:31 |
| Hécate | I need to purge the documentation and codebase from this | 18:24:49 |

| sm | fendor, I thought that because it was something already existing in the haskell ecosystem, familiar to many haskellers. While nix is (was) a foreign reference that sometimes brings a ton of interesting and confusing | 15:18:36 |

| sm | in fact it probably would have been no clearer to someone unfamiliar but at least a less foreign example. There's probably something generic like "content-hashed builds" | 15:19:56 |
