at\nhttps://github.com/haskell/cabal.\n\nProposals for the Cabal project\n-------------------------------\n\nThe [proposals process](proposals.md) is the mechanism which developers can gain\nthe necessary consensus to make larger changes to the Cabal ecosystem.\n\n* It is light-weight, a PR is opened and discussed on [cabal-proposals](https://github.com/haskell/cabal-proposals/) repo with a fixed discussion period.\n* It is developer-led, final decisions are made by developers at the Cabal developers meeting.\n* It is flexible, there is no formal voting procedure, decisions are made by [rough consensus](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7282).\n\nWays to get the `cabal-install` binary\n--------------------------------\n\n1. _GHCup_ (**preferred**): get GHCup using [the directions on its website](https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/) and run:\n\n    ```\n    ghcup install --set cabal latest\n    ```\n\n2. _[Download from official website](https://www.haskell.org/cabal/download.html)_:\n    the `cabal-install` binary download for your platform should contain the `cabal` executable.\n\n#### Preview Releases\n\n_Getting unreleased versions of `cabal-install`_: gives you a chance to try out yet-unreleased features.\nCurrently, we only provide binaries for `x86_64` platforms.\n\n1. _GitHub preview release built from the tip of the `master` branch_: [download from GitHub](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/releases/tag/cabal-head) or use this GHCup command to install:\n\n    ```\n    ghcup install cabal -u https://github.com/haskell/cabal/releases/download/cabal-head/cabal-head-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz head\n    ```\n\n    Replace \"Linux\" with \"Windows\" or \"macOS\" as appropriate.\n\n    The default Linux build is dynamically linked against `zlib`, `gmp` and `glibc`.\n    You will need to have appropriate versions of these libraries installed to use it.\n    Alternatively a statically linked \"Linux-static\" binary is also provided.\n\n    You might need to add the following to your `cabal.project` file\n    if your build fails because of an out-of-date `Cabal` library:\n    ```\n    allow-newer:\n      *:Cabal,\n      *:Cabal-syntax\n\n    source-repository-package\n        type: git\n        location: https://github.com/haskell/cabal.git\n        subdir: Cabal Cabal-syntax\n    ```\n\n\n2. Even more cutting-edge binaries built from pull requests are always available\n   from the `Validate` workflow page on GitHub, at the very bottom of the page,\n   or from the `build-alpine` workflow for statically linked Linux builds.\n\nWays to build `cabal-install` for everyday use\n--------------------------------------------\n\n1. _With cabal-install_:\n    if you have a pre-existing version of `cabal-install`, run:\n\n    ```\n    cabal install cabal-install\n    ```\n\n    to get the latest version of `cabal-install`. (You may want to `cabal update` first.)\n\n2. _From Git_:\n    again with a pre-existing version of `cabal-install`,\n    you can install the latest version from the Git repository. Clone the\n    Git repository, move to its root, and run:\n\n    ```\n    cabal install --project-file=cabal.release.project cabal-install\n    ```\n\n3. _Bootstrapping_:\n    if you don't have a pre-existing version of `cabal-install`,\n    look into the [`bootstrap`](bootstrap) directory.\n\nLearn how to use `cabal` and get support\n----------------------------------------\n\n`cabal` comes with a thorough [User Manual](https://cabal.readthedocs.io).\nIf you are new to `cabal` and want to quickly learn the basics, check\n[Getting Started With Haskell and Cabal](https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started.html).\n\nGot questions? Ask in [Haskell Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#haskell:matrix.org)\n(online chat) or [Haskell Discourse](https://discourse.haskell.org).\n\nSupport window\n--------------\n\nOur GHC support window is five years ([reference](https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/GHC%20Status#all-released-ghc-versions))\nfor both the Cabal library and `cabal-install`.  That is:\n\n* Cabal library must be buildable out-of-the-box against the\n  boot libraries shipped with GHC, for any GHC released in the past five\n  years from Cabal library release date.\n* `cabal-install` should be buildable with `bootstrap/bootstrap.py`\n  script, for any GHC released in the past five years from `cabal-install`\n  release date.\n* `cabal-install` should be able to drive the most recent minor version of\n  any GHCs major version released in the past five years from `cabal-install`\n  release date.\n  In this context, \"drive\" means `cabal-install` will work with the Cabal\n  library (usually but not always the one that came with the ghc version)\n  used to build the package.\n\nSelf-upgrade to the latest version (i.e. `cabal install cabal-install`)\nmust work with all versions of `cabal-install` released during the last\nthree years.\n\nCabal maintainers try to support GHC versions older than five years\non a minimal-effort basis.\n\nBuild for hacking and contributing to cabal\n-------------------------------------------\n\nRefer to [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).\n\nMaintainers\n-------------------------------------------\n\nRefer to [MAINTAINERS.md](MAINTAINERS.md).\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["Haskell","Resources"],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhaskell%2Fcabal","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fhaskell%2Fcabal","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhaskell%2Fcabal/lists"}
