Description Da Li 2021-02-10 15:43:39 UTC
On 2020/5/28, the dependency "splitmix" changed from

>=0.0.2

to

>=0.0.2 && < 0.1


Please check the URL below.

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/QuickCheck-2.13/revisions/


Current the ebuild only has restriction >=0.0.2, so that splitmix 0.1.0.3 will be pulled in and cause a compiling error.

Here is the issue link from official repository, which shows why it can not compiled with splitmix >=0.1.

https://github.com/nick8325/quickcheck/issues/300


Please update the ebuild by adding the upper bound of splitmix.

A build.log would still be useful with emerge --info.

Sorry for not uploading logs. I am not familiar with the usage of this system. I attached them to the this ticket just now.

I'd prefer to remove outdated quickcheck insted one we port everything to 2.14. I thin ::haskell is mostly done in that regard.

Why do you need 2.13?

I agree with you. Removing outdated packages is the best choice if we can port everything to the latest version. However, I wonder if we can resolve the dependencies.

I need dev-haskell/quickcheck-2.13.2 when I want to install rstudio. The following  is the dependency path I found.

sci-mathematics/rstudio-1.3.1093
  app-text/pandoc-2.9.2.1
    dev-haskell/pandoc-types-1.20
      dev-haskell/quickcheck-2.13.2
  dev-haskell/pandoc-citeproc-0.17.0.2
    dev-haskell/pandoc-types-1.20
      dev-haskell/quickcheck-2.13.2

I checked all ebuild of packages mentioned above. In my opinion, quickcheck 2.13 can be safely removed only if pandoc-2.9.2.1 is no more needed. It is a huge work to update all packages related to pandoc-2.9.2.1, I think.

From my point of view, maybe we need keep the latest 2~3 versions of a package because we can not make everything be the newest immediately. The lifecycle of two consecutive versions should have a overlap period if possible.

without  dev-haskell/quickcheck-2.13.2 impossible compile rstudio
so to enable rstudio ether needed somehow fix the dev-haskell/quickcheck-2.13.2 or have ebuild for compiling more recent version of rstudio
