0.6.0

Enhancements

• CABAL_DISABLE_DEPS env var to disable dependencies install by cabal. This can be useful when we have dependencies already installed e.g. in a nix shell.
• Add support for github CI
• Add packcheck-remote.sh, a wrapper over packcheck that allows you to run packcheck on a remote repository by cloning it locally and optionally merging a branch into another branch (e.g. merging a PR branch into master).
• Several fixes to make distribution builds safer and with more checks
• Do a sanity check for the existence of files in .packcheck.ignore and .hlint.ignore

Breaking Changes

• "packcheck cabal" now defaults to "packcheck cabal-v2"
• Support for cabal-v1 is removed
  • CI now fails if cabal-v1 is used as a command
  • CABAL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS is removed
  • CABAL_NO_SANDBOX is removed
  • packcheck cleanall does not remove .cabal-sandbox/ and .cabal.sandbox.config anymore
• Support for cabal-new is removed
  • CI now fails if cabal-new is used as a command
  • CABAL_NEWBUILD_OPTIONS is removed
  • CABAL_NEWBUILD_TARGETS is removed
• A new command hlint is introduced. The hlint build is only triggered by using this command.
• ENABLE_INSTALL option has been removed.

0.5.1

Bug Fixes

• Fix breakage due to DISABLE_SDIST_GIT_CHECK option. Due to this bug, build was always failing by default and reported as success.

Deprecations

• HLINT_COMMANDS is deprecated and replaced by HLINT_OPTIONS/HLINT_TARGETS

Enhancements

• New HLINT_OPTIONS/HLINT_TARGETS env vars to specify hlint commands in a better way.

0.5.0

Bug Fixes

• packcheck.sh script itself was missing from the package, added.

Breaking Changes

• CI now fails if DISABLE_SDIST_BUILD is not set and the contents of the source distribution tar ball do not match the git repository contents. Either add any exceptions to .packcheck.ignore file or use DISABLE_SDIST_GIT_CHECK=y to disable this feature. Currently this check is done only if git and tar commands are available in the PATH.

Deprecations

• cabal-v1 command now shows a deprecation message and is removed from help. This command will be removed in future.
• ENABLE_INSTALL option now does nothing. This change is because of the new behavior in cabal-3. This option will be removed in future.

Enhancements

• Added a feature to detect if any files in the git repo are missing from the source distribution tarball.
• Add CABAL_PROJECT environment variable to support specifying a cabal project file.

0.4.2

Bug Fixes

• When building from source distribution, it would not build again unless cleaned with packcheck clean if a file in the source has changed.

Deprecations

• Deprecate and replace the cabal command with cabal-v1, in future cabal will be used for cabal-v2.
• Deprecate and replace the cabal-new command with cabal-v2.
• Deprecate and rename CABAL_NEWBUILD_OPTIONS to CABAL_BUILD_OPTIONS
• Deprecate and rename CABAL_NEWBUILD_TARGETS to CABAL_BUILD_TARGETS
• Use STACK_BUILD_OPTIONS envvar in the dependency install phase as well
• Remove stack yaml creation using stack init/solver

Enhancements

• Search for ghc among stack installed GHC binaries as well
• Add GHCJS support. Use ENABLE_GHCJS=y option.
• Add packcheck-safe.sh . The safe version does not trust or use any environment variables, all environment needs to be specified on the command line. It also catches any misspelled command line parameter names.
• Allow boolean parameters to be specified with a lenient syntax allowing values y|Y|yes|Yes|YES|true|True|TRUE|on|On|ON|n|N|no|No|NO|false|False|FALSE|off|Off|OFF

0.4.1

• Disable hpc-coveralls by default

0.4.0

• Add support for circle CI
• Add support for multi-package stack as well as cabal repos
• Add a version command
• Add CABAL_NEWBUILD_TARGETS envvar to build specific targets
• Add GHC 8.6.1 in build matrices

0.3.1

• Add a new environment var option DISABLE_DIST_CHECKS to disable source distribution checks. This can be used as a workaround for a bug in stack causing "stack sdist" to fail.
• For stack builds, use the same options (STACK_BUILD_OPTIONS) for install test as for build so that an extra rebuild does not occur during install.
• Workaround to avoid depending on cabal info command; in certain cases this command crashes cabal. See issue #13.

0.3.0

Enhancements

• Add cabal new-build support. Use packcheck.sh cabal-new to use it.
• Add knobs to disable tests or doc builds (DISABLE_TEST, DISABLE_DOCS)
• Now you can specify multiple versions of GHC in PATH and packcheck automatically finds the right one based on GHCVER envvar.
• Add TOOLS_DIR option to specify hvr-ghc style installation of ghc and cabal. A correct version of GHC is automatically picked from this directory.
• GHCVER and CABALVER variables are now optional in travis config if you specify the cabal and ghc PPAs under apt sources.
• Run autoreconf if there is a configure.ac in the package dir

Deprecations

• TEST_INSTALL option is deprecated, use ENABLE_INSTALL instead

0.2.0

Breaking Changes

• Make STACK_BUILD_OPTIONS and CABAL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS append to the existing build/configure options instead of overriding them.
• Do not enforce specific stack version in CI configs - this is done to avoid failures due to github API limits when upgrading or downgrading.

Bug Fixes

• Avoid build failures in cases when cabal-install has to be installed and its dependencies may conflict with the current project dependencies.

Enhancements

• Better documentation in travis and appveyor configs
• Reduce the number of builds in default config from 11 to 6

0.1.1

• Enhancement: Nix support; fix bash location to make it work on NixOS and potentially on other systems.

0.1.0

• Initial release
