How do I get my nightly Haskell package into Stackage LTS?

Though the latest version of my package is appearing as expected in Stackage Nightly, it is not appearing in LTS, and instead an older version is appearing there. How do I get the latest version to appear in LTS?

Solution

  • The reason an older version of your package is in LTS is explained here:

    We should not include a major version bump of a package between LTS-X.Y and LTS-X.(Y+1)

    https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stackage/blob/master/MAINTAINERS.md#lts-package-guarantees-and-exceptions

    The version of your package in the latest LTS is 0.0.3.1, but the latest version is 0.1.1.4. The jump from 0.0.* to 0.1.* is considered a "major version bump" according to the Haskell Package Versioning Policy (PVP).

    LTS 13 will be released soon, and will pick up most major version bumps such as this.
