aeson 0.8.0.0

[hesselink]

The latest aeson-utils has aeson (>=0.6 && <0.9) and was uploaded on July 17th. Am I missing something?

The version of aeson is restricted to < 0.8.

There seems to be a mismatch between the information Hackage displays on the package's home page and what's actually contained in the tarball.

[hesselink]

This is because the dependency was edited in place, a new hackage feature. I think the source browser doesn't reflect this, but the actual tarball does:

$ cabal unpack aeson-utils

Ah, I just noticed this only works when using cabal-install. When downloading the tarball directly from hackage, it contains the old cabal file (without x-revision: 1 and with an aeson upper bound). I think this is a hackage bug. Could you file one?

[bergmark]

This gives the correct revision:

$ curl http://hackage.haskell.org/package/aeson-utils-0.2.2.1/aeson-utils.cabal
name:                aeson-utils
version:             0.2.2.1
x-revision: 1
[...]

can you use this url instead?

[peti]

@hesselink, no, unfortunately I cannot file a bug for Hackage.

[hesselink]

@peti OK, I've filed haskell/hackage-server#252. Do you have enough for a workaround now, or is this issue still a problem for you?

[peti]

No, it's not a problem for me. Thank you for your efforts!

[hesselink]

OK, I'll close the issue then.
