Hackage release

[andreabedini]

Hi all,

thanks for your work! Is there any chance to have the package relased on Hackage? Any blockers?

Thanks,
Andrea

The internals are still in flux and there's some CI legwork to be done for uploading docs.

Meanwhile, both cabal and stack projects may use it with git urls.
And... I doubt it would appear on stackage snapshots, so one would have to set their dependencies explicitly anyway.

What are the benefits you see from having the package uploaded? Visibility, haddocs,... anything else?

For me the most important signal from a release is "we're confident in what we've done". We're close to that point, but I don't think quite there yet

Thank you @dpwiz and @ocharles.

Is there an issue to track the required CI legwork? I will see if I can help.

Unfortunately cabal doesn't pull submodules so pointing source-repository-package to GitHub doesn't work for the moment. See haskell/cabal#5536.

I'll work from a local checkout to the time being.

This is sad indeed.

@ocharles Let's set up a package with a version like 0.0.210421.0 and all the warning signs. This should hurt nobody and benefit some.

[dpwiz]

Uh-oh. C++ code is missing in sdist.
