Description

This defines the data structure for the `.cabal` file format. There are several parts to this structure. It has top level info and then `Library`, `Executable`, `TestSuite`, and `Benchmark` sections each of which have associated `BuildInfo` data that's used to build the library, exe, test, or benchmark. To further complicate things there is both a `PackageDescription` and a `GenericPackageDescription`. This distinction relates to cabal configurations. When we initially read a `.cabal` file we get a `GenericPackageDescription` which has all the conditional sections. Before actually building a package we have to decide on each conditional. Once we've done that we get a `PackageDescription`. It was done this way initially to avoid breaking too much stuff when the feature was introduced. It could probably do with being rationalised at some point to make it simpler.

# Package descriptions

data PackageDescription

This data type is the internal representation of the file `pkg.cabal`. It contains two kinds of information about the package: information which is needed for all packages, such as the package name and version, and information which is needed for the simple build system only, such as the compiler options and library name.

copyright :: String

stability :: String
testedWith :: [(CompilerFlavor, VersionRange)]
homepage :: String
pkgUrl :: String
bugReports :: String

  A one-line summary of this package

description :: String

  A more verbose description of this package

category :: String
customFieldsPD :: [(String, String)]

  Custom fields starting with x-, stored in a simple assoc-list.

buildDepends :: [Dependency]
specVersionRaw :: Either Version VersionRange

  The version of the Cabal spec that this package description uses. For historical reasons this is specified with a version range but only ranges of the form `>= v` make sense. We are in the process of transitioning to specifying just a single version, not a range.

emptyPackageDescription :: PackageDescription

specVersion :: PackageDescription -> Version

The version of the Cabal spec that this package should be interpreted against.

Historically we used a version range but we are switching to using a single version. Currently we accept either. This function converts into a single version by ignoring upper bounds in the version range.

descCabalVersion :: PackageDescription -> VersionRange

Deprecated: Use specVersion instead

The range of versions of the Cabal tools that this package is intended to work with.

This function is deprecated and should not be used for new purposes, only to support old packages that rely on the old interpretation.

data BuildType

The type of build system used by this package.

Constructors

Simple | calls `Distribution.Simple.defaultMain`
Configure | calls `Distribution.Simple.defaultMainWithHooks defaultUserHooks`, which invokes `configure` to generate additional build information used by later phases.
Make | calls `Distribution.Make.defaultMain`
Custom | uses user-supplied `Setup.hs` or `Setup.lhs` (default)
UnknownBuildType String | a package that uses an unknown build type cannot actually be built. Doing it this way rather than just giving a parse error means we get better error messages and allows you to inspect the rest of the package description.

# Source repositories

data SourceRepo

Information about the source revision control system for a package.

When specifying a repo it is useful to know the meaning or intention of the information as doing so enables automation. There are two obvious common purposes: one is to find the repo for the latest development version, the other is to find the repo for this specific release. The `ReopKind` specifies which one we mean (or another custom one).

A package can specify one or the other kind or both. Most will specify just a head repo but some may want to specify a repo to reconstruct the sources for this package release.

The required information is the `RepoType` which tells us if it's using `Darcs`, `Git` for example. The `repoLocation` and other details are interpreted according to the repo type.

Constructors

SourceRepo |

Fields

repoKind :: RepoKind

  The kind of repo. This field is required.

repoType :: Maybe RepoType

  The type of the source repository system for this repo, eg `Darcs` or `Git`. This field is required.

repoLocation :: Maybe String

  The location of the repository. For most `RepoType`s this is a URL. This field is required.

repoModule :: Maybe String

  `CVS` can put multiple "modules" on one server and requires a module name in addition to the location to identify a particular repo. Logically this is part of the location but unfortunately has to be specified separately. This field is required for the `CVS` `RepoType` and should not be given otherwise.

repoBranch :: Maybe String

  The name or identifier of the branch, if any. Many source control systems have the notion of multiple branches in a repo that exist in the same location. For example `Git` and `CVS` use this while systems like `Darcs` use different locations for different branches. This field is optional but should be used if necessary to identify the sources, especially for the `RepoThis` repo kind.

repoTag :: Maybe String

  The tag identify a particular state of the repository. This should be given for the `RepoThis` repo kind and not for `RepoHead` kind.

repoSubdir :: Maybe FilePath

  Some repositories contain multiple projects in different subdirectories This field specifies the subdirectory where this packages sources can be found, eg the subdirectory containing the `.cabal` file. It is interpreted relative to the root of the repository. This field is optional. If not given the default is "." ie no subdirectory.

Constructors

RepoHead | The repository for the "head" or development version of the project. This repo is where we should track the latest development activity or the usual repo people should get to contribute patches.
RepoThis | The repository containing the sources for this exact package version or release. For this kind of repo a tag should be given to give enough information to re-create the exact sources.
