 fendor | Also, don't be afraid to be creative with coming up with your own ideas, they may be more feasible than what's proposed on the ideas page | 18:47:33 |
 VenInf | Ok, got it, thank you!
I will try to make a PoC solution of one of the points, and will create a PR.
The next messages I will send to a proper channel. | 19:14:18 |
| fendor | no worries, I am just worried no one responds on this channel :) | 19:36:32 |

| VenInf | * Hello everyone!
I was trying to tackle the proposal for the HSoC, and I faced some questions.
I would appreciate, if you help me out with them.
- The description asks for
Prompt to add unknown modules to exposed-modules and other-modules sections
But as far as I know, if you fall back to a working extension version, it is already implemented.
- Completion of package version bounds
I wonder to what extent it should implemented?
If the end goal is to get the auto completion of a package, and a lookup of an available versions,
it will make this task considerably harder. At least it has to relay on some interface, to receive this information.
(Like this one, mentioned in the cabal security checking [proposal](cabal-install security vulnerability checking))
- The same concern comes with the tasks, that connected to the documentation for stanzas and the keywords.
Is there any source, where this information can be obtained? Or is creating one is a part of the task as well?
Thank you in advance.

Could somebody please point me at the URL of the GHC-9.8.2 User Guide? Unfortunately, docs web site gives only online pages.

I think the only people who can answer are in #GHC:matrix.org | 07:53:07 |

| mouse009 | Issue/question with Cabal-3.10.2.1. If I feed flag --lib to cabal init my-proj, it only creates subdirectories src/ with Lib.hs and test/Main.hs (or test/Spec.hs if I ask for it). But not app/Main.hs and no executable section in .cabal file.
It only creates app/Main.hs when I explicitly state --exe after --lib. In which case, neither src/Lib.hs nor library section of .cabal are created.
I notice that Stack behaves correctly in this context, creating templates for executable, library, and tests.
Would be nice to get this fixed.

 irregularsphere | Is there a good reason why cabal doesn't support uninstalling?
I tried out sdl2 then I decided that I hate gui programming, so I tried to remove it. I ended up confused and removed ~/.cabal (silly me) and then reinstalling the entire toolstack. 🤣 | 08:53:31 |

| Hécate | irregularsphere: yeah because it's not a package manager :P | 08:56:57 |
| Hécate | but we could, we could | 08:57:05 |
| irregularsphere | I wish. | 08:57:11 |
| irregularsphere | Ah... 200MB of internet down the drain... | 08:57:49 |
| Hécate | irregularsphere: you're one ticket away on the cabal tracker from making this happen | 08:57:54 |
| irregularsphere | From my story? | 08:58:08 |

just open a ticket, say why it's problematic Tough decision.
I looked around and:
There already is a solution for Stack (stack uninstall's instructions) but it's a bit tedious and there's basically no way to autoremove packages (just like in apt) There's the cabal-uninstall tool but I'm not sure if it works - on my setup it tried to uninstall the mtl-2.2.2 version (found in ~/.ghcup/ghc/9.4.8/lib/ghc-9.4.8/lib/x86_64-linux-ghc-9.4.8/) I suppose? There's the sandboxing functionality, but cabal sandbox doesn't seem to exist on my system. There's already a closed issue about this.
