This should make it more convenient to submit pull requests as you can get pinged when the build is finished. IRC notifications are only for branches on the main haskell/cabal repository (not PRs; this is a limitation of Travis's IRC integration) and can be subscribed to by joining ##haskell-cabal on freenode.net I would not have setup Slack notifications, except between Slack and HipChat this is the only way to get Travis to send per-PR messages at the moment. Slack notifications are on the haskell-cabal Slack team, and also include build notifications for PRs. The free tier requires explicit signups so I've deployed a small app https://haskell-cabal.herokuapp.com/ to automatically issue invites; just type in your email and it will give you an invite to the Slack channel. (Courtesy of https://github.com/outsideris/slack-invite-automation) The Travis bot posts to #travis. I personally am connected to Slack over the IRC bridge; Google for setup instructions. If you would like to be added as an admin for the Slack instance please let me know and I'll add you. I've also added this information to the Cabal wiki front page: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/wiki Edward From mikhail.glushenkov at gmail.com Tue Apr 19 21:39:44 2016 From: mikhail.glushenkov at gmail.com (Mikhail Glushenkov) Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2016 23:39:44 +0200 Subject: Cabal 1.24 status update Message-ID: Hi *, A short update on the status of the 1.24 release. Due to GHC 8 final having been repeatedly postponed we were able to get the nix-local-build work and a bunch of other patches initially targeted for 1.24.1.0 merged before the first release off the 1.24 branch. However, a number of solver issues affecting setup/component dependencies were discovered in the meantime. They are not considered release-critical, but are being actively looked into, and we're hoping to get them fixed before the first 1.24 release. This work is being done on the 'solver' branch in the repo [1]. So right now I'm planning to cut the 1.24 release either soon after GHC 8 RC4 is out, or once those solver patches are merged, whichever comes first.

(Ubuntu 14.04) Message-ID: Hello I have tried to update, upgrade, and finally uninstall and reinstall again haskell platform in order to get the latest version for cabal since the current version 1.16 (running under Ubuntu 14.04 ) always triggers the following error message not matter what package I try to install: ghc: ghc no longer supports single-file style package databases (dist/package.conf.inplace) use 'ghc-pkg init' to create the database with the correct format. Failed to install XXX ... ExitFailure 1 I have also tried cabal install cabal-install-1.22.0.0 --global --force-reinstalls but again, it fails.

(Ubuntu 14.04) In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <87r3drrug2.fsf@chladni.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me> In general, you need a version of cabal that matches the version of GHC. My guess is you have cabal-install-1.16 earlier on PATH than the cabal-install that comes with Haskell Platform, and that removing it will solve your problem. If you answer these questions, that will help me give more specific advice: How did you install Haskell Platform (Ubuntu 14.04 package? PPA? tarball?) What is the output of the following commands: which ghc which cabal ghc --version cabal --version echo $PATH cheers, bergey On 2016-04-27 at 08:08, Juan Carlos Saenz Carrasco wrote: > Hello > > I have tried to update, upgrade, and finally uninstall and reinstall again haskell > platform in order to get the latest version for cabal since the current version 1.16 > (running under Ubuntu 14.04 ) always triggers the following error message not matter > what package I try to install: > > ghc: ghc no longer supports single-file style package databases (dist/ > package.conf.inplace) use 'ghc-pkg init' to create the database with the correct format. > Failed to install XXX > ... > ExitFailure 1 > > I have also tried? > > cabal install cabal-install-1.22.0.0 --global --force-reinstalls > > but again, it fails. > > Thanks, > > JC > > _______________________________________________ > cabal-devel mailing list > cabal-devel at haskell.org > http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cabal-devel
