[C2hs] Version 0.17.2 and Regression Suite

[Ian Ross]

Dear All,

I've just released version 0.17.2 of C2HS to Hackage.  This fixes a number
of regressions that were introduced in the last couple of releases.  In
particular, the cuda and hsndfile packages should now build correctly.

To follow up on my recent request for packages for a regression suite for
C2HS, I've now implemented this, so that on every commit Travis builds C2HS
then tries to install a set of "typical" packages (see below).  This should
hopefully help to reduce the chances of these kinds of regressions in
future.  The regression suite is driven off a little YAML configuration
file and can perform various setup steps before building the regression
packages (mostly installing packages using apt-get, although the setup for
CUDA is a little more complicated).

Note that the regression suite only installs these test packages -- it
doesn't run their tests -- and so far, this is for Linux packages only.
 Someone asked me about a MacOS package, and I presume that it ought to be
possible to set up a multi-platform regression suite, but I have no MacOS
machine to test these things on myself and I don't know how to force Travis
to use a MacOS host for Haskell builds.  I'd be happy to hear any ideas,
and I'd also be happy to hear of any other candidate packages for
regression testing.

Cheers,

Ian.


Current regression suite packages: CV, gnome-keyring, hnetcdf, hpuz,
hsndfile, hsqml, igraph, cuda, cufft, OpenCL
