Subject: bug#38946: guix import fails for cabal-helper
Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2020 18:40:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <B77559D0-47A1-491A-B0F8-3A90E69A31E4@vllmrt.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAJ=hFwS+Yz1J3JYoWV5-8d5rSBasd2yCuA2OC+pTyBg8WzMQ5A@mail.gmail.com>

It appears that the guix cabal parser (in guix/import/cabal.scm) isn’t aware
of `common` stanzas.

https://www.haskell.org/cabal/users-guide/developing-packages.html#pkg-section-common-common

Note that there’s quite a few issues with the cabal parser, and the format is pretty
baroque, to the extent that I wonder whether it wouldn’t be better to delegate the
parsing to cabal itself.

E.g.:

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=35743
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=36690

I also remember some issue with braces instead of indentation, but can’t find a bug
report right now.
