Hackage bounds prevent builds with ghc-8.8

cabal.exe: Failed to build threadscope-0.2.2.

[AndreasPK]

Compilation from source works.

Specifiying the threadscope for building from hackage gives a bounds error:

After searching the rest of the dependency tree exhaustively, these were the

I suspect all that needs to be done is bump the bounds on hackage via revision. Since it builds fine when I override the bounds:

$ cabal new-install -w /e/ghc-8.8.1/bin/ghc.exe threadscope-0.2.11.1 -j4 --allow-newer="template-haskell,base,ghc-events,gtk" --install-method=copy

[Mikolaj]

Good to know, thank you. Whom do I call to get the hackage bounds bumped via revision?

@maoe: do we have any release pending/imminent that could also include bumped bounds?

[AndreasPK]

Good to know, thank you. Whom do I call to get the hackage bounds bumped via revision?

Maintainers have the ability to do revisions of the cabal file without reuploading. So do hackage trustees

[Mikolaj]

Oh, great, I forgot, thank you.

[lapplislazuli]

I get the exact same error (from cabal install) with cabal 2.4.0 and ghc 8.6.5

[Mikolaj]

If somebody would offer a PR with updated bounds, I will go and set them as Hackage revision ASAP. Unless current master is already fine?

[maoe]

I thought there was an issue that caused a build failure on some platform. Let me check.

[maoe]

gtk2hs/gtk2hs#291 is the issue. I'll make a fix.

[maoe]

Working on a fix at #103. Will continue tomorrow.

[maoe]

Released v0.2.12 on Hackage and confirmed cabal install works on Linux and macOS.

@AndreasPK @Twonki Could you try again?

[lapplislazuli]

@maoe having a new issue with pango.

It's rejecting pango-0.13 and below, and cannot find pango>=1.0 in my pkg-config database.

[maoe]

@Twonki Do you have pango installed on your system?

[AndreasPK]

New version works for me with both 8.6 and 8.8

@AndreasPK Thanks for checking. Closing the issue.
