Hi everyone You will find below the minutes of the Cabal meeting that was held on the 03/08/2023. This meeting occurs every two weeks and is absolutely open to developers, newcomers and stakeholders. Do contact the dev team if you want an invitation to the event.
--- ## 3.10.2.0 patch release Hécate: The pipeline situation seems to have been fixed, as such Mikołaj & I are able to run GitLab pipelines for cabal. I suggest that once the following PRs are merged, the release process (including security fixes) resume. I'd ideally like it to be done by next week. * https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9088 ## 3.12.1.0 major release Hécate: In accordance with the planned schedule of GHC 9.8, we would like to perform a major release at the end of August. This would be a good idea to highly promote cabal-head nightlies and make sure that the 3.12.1.0 release is already used by people in all but name before we formally create the tag and publish the binaries. (f-a et al.): Things we should warn users about: - `cabal check`: cabal now warns about missing upper bounds. I have a PR ready to address this (ignore some checks) but #8427 needs to be merged first. ## Other topics ### Yvan * I have a working `flake.nix` and `shell.nix` that declare my dev environment to work on Cabal, do you think I should share it in a PR? * I was about to write a detailed issue where I explain why https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/nix-integration.html doesn't work at all (or it's very poorly documented and I don't understand how to properly use it). Instead of fixing it, I'm in favor of removing it because I think it's overall not a good idea to have this kind of integration. * Hécate: Action Item: We should take the pulse of the community for a couple of releases. We should point to https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Haskell for transition. * If time permits, I also wanted to have feedback on my currently open PRs https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pulls/yvan-sraka.
