Any plans for making a NuGet package?
Comment by project member stephen.swensen, Jun 9, 2011
Kurt,
Yes Indeed, I didn't notice your comment 'till just now, but coincidentally released a NuGet package for the latest release on the very day you posted it: http://www.nuget.org/List/Packages/Unquote. Note that currently the package doesn't enforce the FSharp.PowerPack.Linq dependency: I experimented with making it depend on FSPowerPack.Community, but that brings in all of the PowerPack assemblies and also adds a goofy example .fs file to the project. For future packages, I may just include FSharp.PowerPack.Linq directly, or create a separate standalone package for that singular assembly as a dependency. For now, I figure most F# developers already have the PowerPack installed in the GAC.

Cool, thanks. Good point about PowerPack packaging. I think then that package builders should be aware of this, and probably have a "bare" package that just installs the dependent dlls, so that other packages that use PowerPack can safely declare that as a dependency, and one "full" package that installs the dlls and adds any fancy stuff like examples etc.
Have you raised an issue with the PowerPack team about this? I imagine many F# projects use it.

I sent a message to Dan Mohl with those requests, the FSPowerPack.Community package is not officially supported (http://nuget.org/List/Packages/FSPowerPack.Community).
Also, as of Unquote version 2.0.0, I've eliminated any explicit dependencies on any PowerPack components. I eliminated the FSharp.PowerPack.Linq dependency by implementing my own reflection-based quotation evaluation engine. And I've hidden the FSharp.PowerPack.Metadata dependency by statically linking it into the Unquote assembly.

Dan wrote back and said he liked the idea of having a "bare" package as well as having individual packages for sub-components of the PowerPack and said that he would work on putting those together.

Dan has released the new series of PowerPack NuGet packages: http://bloggemdano.blogspot.com/2011/08/new-f-powerpack-packages-on-nuget.html#disqus_thread
For the next version of Unquote, I will likely stop statically linking FSharp.PowerPack.Metadata and instead add a NuGet dependency on FSPowerPack.Metadata.Community

For now have removed the FSharp.PowerPack.Metadata dependency entirely: http://code.google.com/p/unquote/issues/detail?id=69&can=1

Interesting project!
I would like to extend the equality operator so that it "downcasts" anything that supports IEnumerable anywhere in the type structure into seq, so that [1;2;3] =? seq {1;2;3} and I don't have to do weird manual coercion across nested sequences in my tests.
It's unclear to me how to extend the operators or if this would need to be a thing that gets "reduced".

Thanks @dgfitch! Sorry for the belated response. Fundamentally this is an F# language question, but it shouldn't be super difficult to get what you are after: basically, you want a function like toListRecursive<'a> (xs:IEnumerable) : list<'a> for recursively converting a sequence of possibly nested sequences to a list (of lists recursively if needed), thus allowing you to exploit F# structural comparison of lists. I do agree this would be a useful function for unit testing and indeed in general, but it is a bit out of scope for Unquote (which is all about using quotations to perform assertions with standard F# expressions such that source code info is preserved and presented to the developer in a friendly way in case of a failure; helpers like toListRecursive can certainly be used together with Unquote, but start to escape its specific mission -- that being said, it is something I will keep in mind, and maybe someday we may well feel Unquote's scope should expand into this territory).

Just got integration with Fuchu https://github.com/mausch/Fuchu working. Have a patch if you're interested.

Hi @jesse.emerick, I'd be happy to accept your patch. Please create an issue with the patch diff attached. Thanks.
