tl;dr: Check
|
||
|
|
[this pull request](https://github.com/fpco/stackage/pull/3140/files)
|
||
|
|
to see if your package was just removed from Stackage Nightly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Stackage Nightly maintains a set of upper bounds to give package
|
||
|
|
maintainers a grace period between dependencies updating their APIs
|
||
|
|
and users needing to support the new versions. Keeping these upper
|
||
|
|
bounds in place indefinitely places a burden on the rest of the
|
||
|
|
ecosystem needing to keep support for older versions of
|
||
|
|
packages. Therefore, the Stackage Curator team will periodically drop
|
||
|
|
these upper bounds, and in the process must temporarily drop some
|
||
|
|
packages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Over the years, we've standardized on doing this drop immediately
|
||
|
|
following the release of a new major version of
|
||
|
|
[LTS Haskell](https://github.com/fpco/lts-haskell#readme). This allows
|
||
|
|
maximum packages to be included in an LTS release without imposing
|
||
|
|
"bleeding edge" requirements (something LTS Haskell tries to avoid
|
||
|
|
doing).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And as you may have guessed: I'm writing this now since I just dropped
|
||
|
|
a bunch of upper bounds and blocked a number of packages on Stackage
|
||
|
|
Nightly :). If you'd like to see if your package was evicted, please
|
||
|
|
[check out the relevant pull request](https://github.com/fpco/stackage/pull/3140/files). Some notes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The haskell-src-exts upgrade caused the most downstream breakage
|
||
|
|
* There were a _huge_ number of upper bounds for http-types. Since
|
||
|
|
this is the second time a major version bump occurred recently, I
|
||
|
|
left this upper bound in place. More information is
|
||
|
|
[available on the http-types issue](https://github.com/fpco/stackage/issues/2976).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once dependencies are fixed, please send pull requests to reenable
|
||
|
|
packages. Everyone is welcome to do so, whether you're unblocking your
|
||
|
|
own package or someone else's.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PS: Merry Christmas to all those celebrating today.
