New release needed to support ghc 8.8.1

peti opened this issue 5 years ago · 4 comments

@dmwit, would you mind uploading the current master branch as a new release to Hackage? We need an update to support building with Cabal 3.0.x, which is shipped with ghc 8.8.1 by default. I pushed the necessary fixes already and updated https://travis-ci.org/xmonad/X11 to include the 8.8.x compiler.

Yes, sure, it's done. Looking at the commits, it seems the main changes are bugfixes and compatibility issues, so I bumped the version to just 1.9.1.

You should also have the permissions you need to upload yourself in the future if you want.

Hi Daniel,

You should also have the permissions you need to upload yourself in the future if you want.

I checked a minute ago, and I do not have maintainer permissions on Hackage. I -- <https://hackage.haskell.org/user/PeterSimons> -- am a maintainer on Github, so I can commit and tag, but I cannot upload the release at the moment. Best regards, Peter

Ah. I had seen PeterJones on the list and mistakenly thought that was you. Should be fixed up now.

Alright, now I see myself in the list of maintainers on Hackage. Thank you very much!
