# @BLURB: for packages that make use of the Haskell Common Architecture for Building Applications and Libraries (cabal)
# @DESCRIPTION:
# Basic instructions:
#
# Before inheriting the eclass, set CABAL_FEATURES to
# reflect the tools and features that the package makes
# use of.
#
# Currently supported features:
#   haddock    --  for documentation generation
#   hscolour   --  generation of colourised sources
#   hoogle     --  generation of documentation search index
#   profile    --  if package supports to build profiling-enabled libraries
#   bootstrap  --  only used for the cabal package itself
#   lib        --  the package installs libraries
#   nocabaldep --  don't add dependency on cabal.
#                  only used for packages that _must_ not pull the dependency
#                  on cabal, but still use this eclass (e.g. haskell-updater).
#   ghcdeps    --  constraint dependency on package to ghc onces
#                  only used for packages that use libghc internally and _must_
#                  not pull upper versions
#   test-suite --  add support for cabal test-suites (introduced in Cabal-1.8)
#   rebuild-after-doc-workaround -- enable doctest test failue workaround.
#                  Symptom: when `./setup haddock` is run in a `build-type: Custom`
#                  package it might cause cause the test-suite to fail with
#                  errors like:
#                  > <command line>: cannot satisfy -package-id singletons-2.7-3Z7pnljD8tU1NrslJodXmr
#                  Workaround re-reginsters the package to avoid the failure
#                  (and rebuilds changes).
#                  FEATURE can be removed once https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/7213
#                  is fixed.

# Allows easier patching of $CABAL_FILE (${S}/${PN}.cabal by default)
# depends
#
# Accepts argument list as pairs of substitutions: <from-string> <to-string>...
#
# Dies on error.
#
# Usage examples:
#
# src_prepare() {
#    cabal_chdeps \
#        'base >= 4.2 && < 4.6' 'base >= 4.2 && < 4.7' \
#        'containers ==0.4.*' 'containers >= 0.4 && < 0.6'
#}
# or

#        'base >= 4.2 && < 4.6' 'base >= 4.2 && < 4.7'
#    CABAL_FILE=${S}/${MY_PN}-tools.cabal cabal_chdeps \
#        'base == 3.*' 'base >= 4.2 && < 4.7'
