- parametrize the bootstrap update Makefile target to make changing
  the list of GHC versions a bit easier
- add GHC 9.0.2 and 9.2.3 to the list of bootstrapping GHC versions
- regenerate the bootstrapping plans across all GHC versions

* Update the SPDX License List to version 3.16

* Add changelog entry

- remove tee output
- disable debug logging in cabal-bootstrap-gen by default

This removes the need for passing dedicated project and build
directory names and cleans up the top level directory a little
bit.

`cabal run -vnormal+err cabal-bootstrap-gen` would output ghc
build output on stdout, messing up the expected JSON output and
causing empty linux-*.json. Instead, call `cabal run -v0` which
silences ghc as well as cabal, unless something goes wrong.

* Avoid templating GitHub Actions workflow

GitHub Actions workflow have sufficient power to express what we need.
We don't need to maintain and additional templating solution on top.

* Add GHC 9.2, bump bounds, fix syntax

* Switch to official haskell image

* Always run cli tests for ghc 8.2 and above

* Remove step to regenerate GitHub Actions workflows

* Fix missed reference to GHC version

* Fix yaml syntax

* Fix type in the GHC version

* More CI changes

- Run bootstrap.yml on ubuntu-latest
- Use explicit matrix for linux.yml
- Drop containers in favour of haskell setup action
- Drop workaround for ancient git

* Remove unneeded package from CI setup

I belive this is only necessary to run `cabal man` which we do not in
the CI.

* Drop old GHCs from the CI

* Switch macos.yml to haskell/action/setup

Also add the same GHC versions as Linux.

* Simplify CI

- Remove cabal-plan, we actually never call it (I think)
- Remove vendored cabal-doctest
- Remove few stray allow-newer clauses no longer necessary, apparently

Originally done by @gbaz in PR #7907.

* Mark GHC 9.2.1 as experimental

* Remove reference to cabal-plan from validate.sh

* setup-haskell action already runs cabal update

* Add missing build matrix in test-windows-dogfood

* Replace cabal-plan list-bin with cabal list-bin

* Enable caching in the CI

* Fix typo

* Remove continue-on-error until I figure it out

* Keep naming consistent

* Temporarily disable 8.0.2 on macos

* Add missing step id

* Tweaks

Remove workaround for nektos/act, it accidentally sneaked in.

* More tweaks

* Tweaks

* Restore cabal-plan, temporarily mark everything experimental

cabal list-bin doesn't seem to work like cabal-plan does.

* Tweaks

* Ensure cabal-plan executable gets built

* Install automake on MacOS

* Tweaks

* Tweaks

Link experimental flags to relative GitHub issues

* Fix typo

- Remove the .plan.json files, since they're just intermediate files.
- Remove the Linux check since e.g. macOS works just fine.

There is a new make file,

    doc/Makefile

that defines these goals:

  - `check-requirements`:
    Check `requirements.txt` for security problems (CVEs) using `skjold`.
    This goal is intended for the "Users guide" CI.
    SKJOLD_GITHUB_API_TOKEN might have to be set if GITHUB_TOKEN is
    not in the environment, in order to access the GitHub GraphQL API.

  - `build-and-check-requirements`:
    Rebuild `requirements.txt` from `requirements.in` using `pip-compile`,
    and check with `check-requirements`.
    This goal is intended for manual invocation.

    It is invoked from the top Makefile via goal
    `users-guide-requirements`.

Alternatively, these goals could be coupled with the doc build
`make users-guide`.
However, since these goals require a couple of seconds to run, I think
it is annoying to call them on every build of the documentation.

cabal list-bin was introduced in cabal-install 3.4, so it's safe to
assume every cabal developer has it by now. By using that, we
remove the dependency on cabal-plan from the Makefile (though it's still
present in other places).

andreas.abel authored 3 years ago and Mikolaj Konarski committed 3 years ago

Strict regime: turn warnings to errors (-W), rebuild from scratch (-E).

- regenerate bootstrap plans
- update CI and docker images for 8.8.4 and 8.10.4

* Changes needed for GenValidate and release.py to
  accommmodate new solver dependency
* Bumps bootstrap plans to modern GHC versions
* Update `validate.sh` and `release.py` to accommodate new solver dep.
* Update `Makefile` targets

The are various motivation points:
- I'm not aware anyone third party running Cabal tests (maybe nixpkgs?)
- No need to do gen-extra-source-files, as Cabal-tests is not distributed
- No multiple rebuilds of Cabal-QuickCheck, Cabal-tree-diff
- Slightly smaller Cabal sdist (which is quite big still)

This makes us skip one less test.
Also some small cleanups to test runner added.

The folder contains also `Lexer.x`, which isn't a template as such,
but it's not far from that, conceptually. `templates/` is better
name than `boot/`

I.e. find out where we don't yet
used `Distribution.Client.Compat.Prelude`.

- If the module is small I added direct `Prelude` imports.
- Add Exception, deepseq stuff to Cabal Prelude
- Add Parsec, Pretty and Verbosity to Client Prelude
- use for, for_, traverse and traverse_ (removes need for Control.Monad)

Also add a test for current behaviour
of https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6083

And variant with mixin, for https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6281

The tests are disable for GHC older than 8.8
Should they work?
