Tools like cabal2nix need to access cabal-install's state or cache in order to do their job (in cabal2nix's case, to read the Hackage state). Most of them didn't do this correctly in the first place, usually ignoring either CABAL_CONFIG or CABAL_DIR. With the change to XDG, matters are even more dire, and it seems impractical for all tools to include the backwards compatibility logic. One solution is for such tools to depend on cabal-install and import the logic from Distribution.Client.Config. Of course, there is no guarantee that the version of cabal-install they are linked with is the same as the version of cabal that the user runs in their shell.

This draft PR adds a new command, cabal dirs, that prints out which directories cabal uses. Example:

$ cabal dirs
cache-dir: /home/athas/.cache/cabal/packages
logs-dir: /home/athas/.cache/cabal/logs
store-dir: /home/athas/.local/state/cabal/store

These are not all the directories one could print. For example, the various install-dirs are missing, mostly because I could not figure out how to actually obtain them whilst expanding any variables they contain. (And what is "install-dirs global" used for anyway?) However, the directories above are the ones that I have anecdotally observed that various third party tools are interested in.

An obvious alternative to this approach would be to extend user-state to also allow reading of arbitrary config values, but as far as I can see that is not possible: user-state has no idea what options are actually called, and simply uses the config file parser/unparser machinery.

@andreasabel requested something like this in #8855 (comment)

This sounds like a good idea. Maybe following stack convention would be wise (so, cabal path).

A technical comment. Adding a new subcommand requires updating a bunch of places. One place pertains to how cabal --help looks. Make sure it does show the new command. Of course, an update to the manual, and some tests would also be required.

Sure, if there is interest in this command (and we've figured out the naming; cabal path is fine to me) I will make sure to dot the i's and cross the t's as well.

What is great about stack path is that you can get each directory individually as well. This helps in automation and CI.

I think it's possible, option names are in the FieldDescrs, See configFieldDescriptions.

Apologies for the absence. I have renamed the command to cabal path and rebased on top of master.

Can someone explain the format of stack path? The help text above is not explicit, and for some reason e.g. stack path --stack-root just spits out some Nix error about installing GHC on my NixOS machine (not really clear to me why printing a path needs GHC, but whatever).

I managed to find a system that could run stack. The cabal path command now replicates its behaviour.

Many of the existing integration tests would work as a template for this case. Here's one of the simpler ones (probably not the simplest: I didn't check thoroughly) https://github.com/haskell/cabal/blob/master/cabal-testsuite/PackageTests/ListBin/SelectedComponent/cabal.test.hs

You will need to copy the full directory and update the reference output by calling the test with --accept.

When writing integration tests, don't hesitate to consult with https://github.com/haskell/cabal/blob/master/cabal-testsuite/README.md

What else needs to be done here? More paths can perhaps be added (now or later), but cabal is quite unsystematic in how paths are extracted from the configuration (often involving control flow). I'd rather not this PR turn into a refactoring of that part of the code base.

I am fairly confident that the currently supported paths include what is needed by tools such as cabal2nix and friends, which motivated this command in the first place.

* Use the newer haskell-actions organisation

* Restructure Cabal documentation top-level parts

The goal is for users to easier find pages for typical problems through search engines and page navigation.
- The top-level layout is based on the popular documentation structure by https://documentation.divio.com/ to give a
   clear structure to users and future documentation contributors:
  * Guides: Present a solution to a single, atomic, typical user problem.
  * Reference: Describe user API (CLI fields, syntax etc) with technical rigour and completeness.
  * Explanation: Discuss background information, scope, design decisions etc.
- Move existing documentation roughly into these categories with minimal editing as the basis for further editing.
- Rename guide titles to mention how-to for improving SEO.
- Rename some files to improve SEO since that name becomes part of the URL (often called slug).
  Important page keywords should appear in the slug as well to make pages rank higher in search engines.

* Add dependencies used by `PackageTests` to exe:cabal-tests

The runner allows the tests to use extra dependencies and the custom Prelude
from 'cabal-testsuite'.
However, if the tests use a dependency, say 'directory', and there are two
packages with the same unit id available in the store, the test fails since
it doesn't know which one to pick.
By including an extra dependency to directory, we force the test runner to
use a specific version directory, fixing the test failure.

(review) Clarify `combineNames` documentation

By explaining the way it operates (working if the two names are equal
or one is empty) and renaming the function from `combineName` to
`combineNames`.

(review) Use guards instead of if/then/else

(review) Match inside argument list

(review) Replace “white” with “allow”

(review) Fix typo in comment

(review) Fix typo in Check module documentation

(review) Harmonise indentation for `data` decls

First field goes in a new line than the data constructor, so we
have more space.

(review) Rename `Prim` module to `Types`

(review) Add checkPackageFilesGPD

`checkPackageFiles` — which works on PD — was used to perform IO. We
introduce a function that does the same thing but works on GPD (which
is more principled).

`checkPackageFiles` cannot just be removed, since it is part of the
interface of Distribution.PackageDescription.Check. Deprecation can
be planned once “new check” is up and running.

* Integrate Andreas’ review

(review) Add named section to missing upper bound check

“miss upper bound” checks will now list target type and name (“On
executable 'myexe', these packages miss upper bounds”) for easier
fixing by the user.

(review) remove `cabal gen-bounds` suggestion

Reasonable as `cabal gen-bounds` is stricter than `cabal check`, see
#8427 (comment)
Once `gen-bounds` behaves in line with `check` we can readd the
suggestion.

(review) Do not warn on shared bounds

When a target which depends on an internal library shares some
dependencies with the latter, do not warn on upper bounds.

An example is clearer

    library
     build-depends: text < 5
    ⁝
     build-depends: myPackage,        ← no warning, internal
                    text,             ← no warning, shared bound
                    monadacme         ← warning!

* Integrate Artem’s review /II

(review) Split Check.hs

Check.hs has been split in multiple file, each une sub 1000 lines:

Check              857 lines
Check.Common       147 lines
Check.Conditional  204 lines
Check.Monad        352 lines
Check.Paths        387 lines
Check.Target       765 lines
Check.Warning      865 lines

Migration guide:
- Check              GPD/PD checks plus work-tree checks.
- Check.Common       common types and functions that are
                     *not* part of monadic checking setup.
- Check.Conditional  checks on CondTree and related matter
                     (variables, duplicate modules).
- Check.Monad        Backbone of the checks, monadic inter-
                     face and related functions.
- Check.Paths        Checks on files, directories, globs.
- Check.Target       Checks on realised targets (libraries,
                     executables, benchmarks, testsuites).
- Check.Warning      Datatypes and strings for warnings
                     and severities.

(review) remove useless section header

(review) Fix typo

(review) Add warnings documentation (list)

For each warning, we document constructor/brief description
in the manual.  This might not be much useful as not but it
will come handy when introducing `--ignore=WARN` and similar
flags.

* (review Andreas) Clarify CheckExplanation comment

Whoever modifies `CheckExplanation` data constructors needs to be
aware that the documentation in  doc/cabal-commands.rst  has to be
updated too.

* Move internal Check modules to `other-modules`

No need to expose Distribution.PackageDescription.Check.*
to the world. API for checking, for cabal-install and other
tools, should be in Distribution.PackageDescription.Check.

* Make fourmolu happy

Cabal codebase has now a formatter/style standard (see #8950).

“Ravioli ravioli, give me the formuoli”

* Do not check for OptO in scripts

See #8963 for reason and clarification requests.

* Remove useless PackageId parameter

It is now in the Reader part of CheckM monad.

* Do not check PVP on internal targets

Internal: testsuite, benchmark.
See #8361.

* Make hlint happy

* Fix #9122

When checking internal version ranges, we need to make sure we
are not mistaking a libraries with the same name but from different
packages. See #9132.

* Fix grammar

neither…nor, completing what done in #9162

* Integrate Brandon’s review: grammar

* Remove unnecessary `-fvia-C` check

Brandon’s review/II.

* ci: Enable windows tests for 9.6.3

There were two failing tests:

1. CCompilerOverride, was attempting to use gcc.exe rather than
   clang.exe without also overriding the C options which led to
   incorrect options being passed to gcc.exe. The fix is to override to
   clang.exe on ghc-9.4 or newer.
2. ForeignLibs exposes a bug in GHC
   (https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/24185) and hence is
   skipped for GHCs newer than 9.4 where it was first introduced.

Towards fixing #8451, we just need to fix the shared library issue now.

* testsuite: Be explicit about runtime test dependencies

Issue #8356 reports occasional errors from running the testsuite about
multiple package versions available. This stems from the invokation of
`runghc` not being explicit about all dependencies of the testsuite.

The solution is provide a component in the cabal file which is explicit
about which packages the tests can depend on. This component has a
build-depends section which lists all the dependencies that the tests
require.

It would be better if this component was a library component but we
can't do this with a Custom setup because of limitations to do with
per-component builds.

Then we also enable `-hide-all-packages`, so the dependency will not be
available if it is not explicitly listed as a dependency.

You could also imagine a future where the Setup.hs script found the test
files and compiled a single executable which would run all the tests,
rather than invoking runghc on each one individually.

Fixes #8356

* hurd: Enable using $ORIGIN in RPATH

GNU/Hurd fully supports RPATH and the $ORIGIN development, and we indeed
want to use it for relocatable installations shipped in Debian GNU/Hurd.

* Fix the platform string for GNU/Hurd

Since version 9.4.7-1, ghc fails to build on the GNU/Hurd port of Debian,
see

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=ghc&arch=hurd-i386&ver=9.4.7-1&stamp=1697717885&raw=0

Error, rule finished running but did not produce file:
  _build/stage0/lib/i386-gnu-ghc-9.4.6/ghc-boot-th-9.4.7/libHSghc-boot-th-9.4.7.a

and indeed, what did get produce was rather
_build/stage0/lib/i386-hurd-ghc-9.4.6/ghc-boot-th-9.4.7/libHSghc-boot-th-9.4.7.a
(i386-hurd instead of i386-gnu).

This is due to confusion between hurd and gnu in various places.  Apparently
previous versions of ghc were using gnu for the GNU/Hurd port, and thus
putting libraries etc. in i386-gnu. So we have to follow the existing
practice.

* Fix configuation of ldProgram

Standard GNU `ld` ues `--relocatable` while `ld.gold` uses a `-relocatable`
flag (with a single `-`). Code will now detect both versions.

* Chain configuration of ldProgram

`ldProgram` gets configured in two places, a seemingly default and
a GHC specific version. The later needs to be updated so that it
first calls the default configuration and then the new GHC version.

* Use linker capability detection to improve linker use

The function `comperSupportsGhciLibs` has been renamed to
`linkerSupportsGhciLibs` because its about the linker not the compiler.

The function `comperSupportsGhciLibs` was using the compiler version
as a proxy for whether the linker supports relocatable objects. Now
support for relocatable objects is detected by running the linker.

* add `merge+no rebase`

and a few typos while reviewing

* Add support for 64-bit SPARC as a separate architecture

Previously, sparc64 was defined as an alias for the 32-bit SPARC
architecture which was true while SPARC mainland was mostly 32
bits. More recently, 64-bit SPARC has become a port of its own,
so it needs to be treated as a separate architecture.

* Remove debug-conflict-sets flag from solver package

Fixes #8937.

The debug-conflict-sets build flag probably hasn't been used for a long time,
and it isn't currently tested. This commit removes the flag, converts the
ConflictSet type back to a newtype, and removes an unnecessary instance.

* Finish improvements to the CI configuration for documentation changes (#9460)

* Add bootstrap postjob to CI config

Add a new job to the bootstrap.yml GitHub action config.
This job succeeds if, and only if, all the other bootstrap
jobs succeed.

* Do not run bootstrap CI jobs for documentation changes

The approach was already introduced in #9355 for the validate jobs.
This commit introduces the same change also for the bootstrap jobs.

* Also ignore CONTRIBUTING.md and README.md in CI

We do not run the entire CI suite for documentation changes.
Previously, only changes which were restricted to the 'docs/'
subdirectory were considered to be documentation changes.
With this commit we also recognize changes to README.md and
CONTRIBUTING.md as documentation changes.

* Document improved CI for documentation in CONTRIBUTING.md

The CONTRIBUTING.md file now mentions that documentation changes
do not waste expensive CI resources.

* Recognize all README.md in subdirs as documentation

Expensive CI jobs should not run on changes which affect only
README.md files.

* formatting: Add style-commit makefile target

This target allows you to format a range of commits, for example:

```
make style-commit COMMIT=HEAD~1
> Last commit is formatted
make style-commit COMMIT=abcde
> Commits between HEAD and abcde are formatted
```

* Fix assertion failure when combining build-tool-depends and --enable-documentation

The `setDocumentation` function was modifying the elaborated package
after the hash was computed. This led to the assertion failing as the
computed hash was different to what was computed in the initial install
plan.

Therefore in order to fix this we either needed to:

1. Set elabBuildHaddocks = False at the point where the hash is
   initially computed.
2. Verify that elabBuildHaddocks = True will not lead to unexpected
   results.

The latter has been implemented.

The elabBuildHaddocks option is only consulted in
`hasValidHaddockTargets`, at which point documentation building the
executable component is disabled because elabHaddockExecutables is
False.

In the added test we ensure this by checking that we didn't build
documentation for the executable which is built because of
build-tool-depends.

Fixes #6006 #8313

* testsuite: Improve error message in findDependencyInStore

* Only move code to Simple/GHC/Build*

* CPP mingw32_HOST_OS for more imports

* cabal-install-solver: fix pkgconf 1.9 --modversion regression

Check that the numbers of *versions* output is equal to the number of pkgconf's

fixes #8923

The pkgconf behavior was reverted upstream in 2.0

(this should cover the case too of checking that equal pkgList lines are output also)

* External commands: Add tests for #9402 #9403 #9404

This adds 4 tests which test the new external commands feature:

* ExternalCommand - Tests the expected usage of external command invoked
  via cabal-install
* ExternalCommandSetup - Tests that the ./Setup interface does not
  support external commands (#9403)
* ExternalCommandEnv - Tests that environment variables are set and
  preserved appropiately  (#9402)
* ExternalCommandHelp - Test that `cabal help <cmd>` is interpreted appropiately (#9404)

* Finish off the external commands feature

* Remove 'CommandDelegate' in favour of abstracting the fallback in
  'commandsRun', there is a new variant 'commdandRunWithFallback' which
  takes a continuation
  - This restores the modularity between the `Cabal` library and
    `cabal-install` as now `Cabal` doesn't need to know anything about
    the external command interface.
  - Fixes #9403
* Set the $CABAL environment variable to the current executable path
  - This allows external commands to be implemented by calling $CABAL,
    which is strongly preferred to linking against the Cabal library as
    there is no easy way to guantee your tool and `cabal-install` link
    against the same `Cabal` library.
  - Fixes #9402
* Pass the name of the argument
  - This allows external commands to be implemented as symlinks to an
    executable, and multiple commands can be interpreted by the same
    executable.
  - Fixes #9405
* `cabal help <cmd>` is interpreted as `cabal-<cmd> --help` for external
  commands.
  - This allows the `help` command to also work for external
  commands and hence they are better integrated into cabal-install.
  - Fixes #9404

The tests are updated to test all these additions.

These features bring the external command interface up to par with the
cargo external command interface.

* Use Base16 hash for script path.

Issue #9334 shows that `%` characters on Windows result in invalid
paths, also `/` characters on Linux create invalid paths.

This changes from using base64 to using base16 with the same length
we use for unit-ids.

* Migrate to haskell-actions/setup

As of 2023-09-09, haskell/action/setup is no longer maintained.

The comment

  # latest is mandatory for cabal-testsuite, see #8133

is removed; as the validate job was already fixing a version of cabal-install.

* testsuite: Introduce Cabal-tests library for common testsuite functions

I noticed that Distribution.Utils.TempTestDir was only used in the
testsuite but defined in the Cabal library. Rather than expose this in
the public interface of the `Cabal` library, it is cleaner to refactor
it into a separate library (`Cabal-tests`) which can be used by any
testsuite component.

Also, in future it gives a clearer place to put utility functions which
need to be shared across the testsuite but not exposed in Cabal.
Cabal-tests can also freely add dependencies (such as exceptions) which
we might want to avoid adding to the Cabal library.

Fixes #9453

* GHC 9.8 compat: pacify -Wx-partial

* GHC 9.8 compat: update hashes of data structures as computed by Structured

It seems, GHC 9.8 changed something in the code generation for data types.
Structured class is supposed to catch such cases.

* GHC 9.8 compat: bump base, update Unknown GHC

And bump Cabal's "supported version" of GHC

* CI: GHC 9.8

* merge master

* Hackage should be capitalized

* Use the newer haskell-actions organisation

* Restructure Cabal documentation top-level parts

The goal is for users to easier find pages for typical problems through search engines and page navigation.
- The top-level layout is based on the popular documentation structure by https://documentation.divio.com/ to give a
   clear structure to users and future documentation contributors:
  * Guides: Present a solution to a single, atomic, typical user problem.
  * Reference: Describe user API (CLI fields, syntax etc) with technical rigour and completeness.
  * Explanation: Discuss background information, scope, design decisions etc.
- Move existing documentation roughly into these categories with minimal editing as the basis for further editing.
- Rename guide titles to mention how-to for improving SEO.
- Rename some files to improve SEO since that name becomes part of the URL (often called slug).
  Important page keywords should appear in the slug as well to make pages rank higher in search engines.

* Add dependencies used by `PackageTests` to exe:cabal-tests

The runner allows the tests to use extra dependencies and the custom Prelude
from 'cabal-testsuite'.
However, if the tests use a dependency, say 'directory', and there are two
packages with the same unit id available in the store, the test fails since
it doesn't know which one to pick.
By including an extra dependency to directory, we force the test runner to
use a specific version directory, fixing the test failure.

* Integrate Artem’s review

(review) Clarify `combineNames` documentation

By explaining the way it operates (working if the two names are equal
or one is empty) and renaming the function from `combineName` to
`combineNames`.

(review) Use guards instead of if/then/else

(review) Match inside argument list

(review) Replace “white” with “allow”

(review) Fix typo in comment

(review) Fix typo in Check module documentation

(review) Harmonise indentation for `data` decls

First field goes in a new line than the data constructor, so we
have more space.

(review) Rename `Prim` module to `Types`

(review) Add checkPackageFilesGPD

`checkPackageFiles` — which works on PD — was used to perform IO. We
introduce a function that does the same thing but works on GPD (which
is more principled).

`checkPackageFiles` cannot just be removed, since it is part of the
interface of Distribution.PackageDescription.Check. Deprecation can
be planned once “new check” is up and running.

* Integrate Andreas’ review

(review) Add named section to missing upper bound check

“miss upper bound” checks will now list target type and name (“On
executable 'myexe', these packages miss upper bounds”) for easier
fixing by the user.

(review) remove `cabal gen-bounds` suggestion

Reasonable as `cabal gen-bounds` is stricter than `cabal check`, see
haskell#8427 (comment)
Once `gen-bounds` behaves in line with `check` we can readd the
suggestion.

(review) Do not warn on shared bounds

When a target which depends on an internal library shares some
dependencies with the latter, do not warn on upper bounds.

An example is clearer

    library
     build-depends: text < 5
    ⁝
     build-depends: myPackage,        ← no warning, internal
                    text,             ← no warning, shared bound
                    monadacme         ← warning!

* Integrate Artem’s review /II

(review) Split Check.hs

Check.hs has been split in multiple file, each une sub 1000 lines:

Check              857 lines
Check.Common       147 lines
Check.Conditional  204 lines
Check.Monad        352 lines
Check.Paths        387 lines
Check.Target       765 lines
Check.Warning      865 lines

Migration guide:
- Check              GPD/PD checks plus work-tree checks.
- Check.Common       common types and functions that are
                     *not* part of monadic checking setup.
- Check.Conditional  checks on CondTree and related matter
                     (variables, duplicate modules).
- Check.Monad        Backbone of the checks, monadic inter-
                     face and related functions.
- Check.Paths        Checks on files, directories, globs.
- Check.Target       Checks on realised targets (libraries,
                     executables, benchmarks, testsuites).
- Check.Warning      Datatypes and strings for warnings
                     and severities.

(review) remove useless section header

(review) Fix typo

(review) Add warnings documentation (list)

For each warning, we document constructor/brief description
in the manual.  This might not be much useful as not but it
will come handy when introducing `--ignore=WARN` and similar
flags.

* (review Andreas) Clarify CheckExplanation comment

Whoever modifies `CheckExplanation` data constructors needs to be
aware that the documentation in  doc/cabal-commands.rst  has to be
updated too.

* Move internal Check modules to `other-modules`

No need to expose Distribution.PackageDescription.Check.*
to the world. API for checking, for cabal-install and other
tools, should be in Distribution.PackageDescription.Check.

* Make fourmolu happy

Cabal codebase has now a formatter/style standard (see haskell#8950).

“Ravioli ravioli, give me the formuoli”

* Do not check for OptO in scripts

See haskell#8963 for reason and clarification requests.

* Remove useless PackageId parameter

It is now in the Reader part of CheckM monad.

* Do not check PVP on internal targets

Internal: testsuite, benchmark.
See haskell#8361.

* Make hlint happy

* Fix haskell#9122

When checking internal version ranges, we need to make sure we
are not mistaking a libraries with the same name but from different
packages. See haskell#9132.

* Fix grammar

neither…nor, completing what done in haskell#9162

* Integrate Brandon’s review: grammar

* Remove unnecessary `-fvia-C` check

* ci: Enable windows tests for 9.6.3

There were two failing tests:

1. CCompilerOverride, was attempting to use gcc.exe rather than
   clang.exe without also overriding the C options which led to
   incorrect options being passed to gcc.exe. The fix is to override to
   clang.exe on ghc-9.4 or newer.
2. ForeignLibs exposes a bug in GHC
   (https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/24185) and hence is
   skipped for GHCs newer than 9.4 where it was first introduced.

Towards fixing haskell#8451, we just need to fix the shared library issue now.

* testsuite: Be explicit about runtime test dependencies

Issue haskell#8356 reports occasional errors from running the testsuite about
multiple package versions available. This stems from the invokation of
`runghc` not being explicit about all dependencies of the testsuite.

The solution is provide a component in the cabal file which is explicit
about which packages the tests can depend on. This component has a
build-depends section which lists all the dependencies that the tests
require.

It would be better if this component was a library component but we
can't do this with a Custom setup because of limitations to do with
per-component builds.

Then we also enable `-hide-all-packages`, so the dependency will not be
available if it is not explicitly listed as a dependency.

You could also imagine a future where the Setup.hs script found the test
files and compiled a single executable which would run all the tests,
rather than invoking runghc on each one individually.

Fixes haskell#8356

* hurd: Enable using $ORIGIN in RPATH

GNU/Hurd fully supports RPATH and the $ORIGIN development, and we indeed
want to use it for relocatable installations shipped in Debian GNU/Hurd.

* Fix the platform string for GNU/Hurd

Since version 9.4.7-1, ghc fails to build on the GNU/Hurd port of Debian,
see

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=ghc&arch=hurd-i386&ver=9.4.7-1&stamp=1697717885&raw=0

Error, rule finished running but did not produce file:
  _build/stage0/lib/i386-gnu-ghc-9.4.6/ghc-boot-th-9.4.7/libHSghc-boot-th-9.4.7.a

and indeed, what did get produce was rather
_build/stage0/lib/i386-hurd-ghc-9.4.6/ghc-boot-th-9.4.7/libHSghc-boot-th-9.4.7.a
(i386-hurd instead of i386-gnu).

This is due to confusion between hurd and gnu in various places.  Apparently
previous versions of ghc were using gnu for the GNU/Hurd port, and thus
putting libraries etc. in i386-gnu. So we have to follow the existing
practice.

* Fix configuation of ldProgram

Standard GNU `ld` ues `--relocatable` while `ld.gold` uses a `-relocatable`
flag (with a single `-`). Code will now detect both versions.

* Chain configuration of ldProgram

`ldProgram` gets configured in two places, a seemingly default and
a GHC specific version. The later needs to be updated so that it
first calls the default configuration and then the new GHC version.

* Use linker capability detection to improve linker use

The function `comperSupportsGhciLibs` has been renamed to
`linkerSupportsGhciLibs` because its about the linker not the compiler.

The function `comperSupportsGhciLibs` was using the compiler version
as a proxy for whether the linker supports relocatable objects. Now
support for relocatable objects is detected by running the linker.

* add `merge+no rebase`

and a few typos while reviewing

* Add support for 64-bit SPARC as a separate architecture

Previously, sparc64 was defined as an alias for the 32-bit SPARC
architecture which was true while SPARC mainland was mostly 32
bits. More recently, 64-bit SPARC has become a port of its own,
so it needs to be treated as a separate architecture.

* Remove debug-conflict-sets flag from solver package

Fixes haskell#8937.

The debug-conflict-sets build flag probably hasn't been used for a long time,
and it isn't currently tested. This commit removes the flag, converts the
ConflictSet type back to a newtype, and removes an unnecessary instance.

* Finish improvements to the CI configuration for documentation changes (haskell#9460)

* Add bootstrap postjob to CI config

Add a new job to the bootstrap.yml GitHub action config.
This job succeeds if, and only if, all the other bootstrap
jobs succeed.

* Do not run bootstrap CI jobs for documentation changes

The approach was already introduced in haskell#9355 for the validate jobs.
This commit introduces the same change also for the bootstrap jobs.

* Also ignore CONTRIBUTING.md and README.md in CI

We do not run the entire CI suite for documentation changes.
Previously, only changes which were restricted to the 'docs/'
subdirectory were considered to be documentation changes.
With this commit we also recognize changes to README.md and
CONTRIBUTING.md as documentation changes.

* Document improved CI for documentation in CONTRIBUTING.md

The CONTRIBUTING.md file now mentions that documentation changes
do not waste expensive CI resources.

* Recognize all README.md in subdirs as documentation

Expensive CI jobs should not run on changes which affect only
README.md files.

* formatting: Add style-commit makefile target

This target allows you to format a range of commits, for example:

```
make style-commit COMMIT=HEAD~1
> Last commit is formatted
make style-commit COMMIT=abcde
> Commits between HEAD and abcde are formatted
```

* Fix assertion failure when combining build-tool-depends and --enable-documentation

The `setDocumentation` function was modifying the elaborated package
after the hash was computed. This led to the assertion failing as the
computed hash was different to what was computed in the initial install
plan.

Therefore in order to fix this we either needed to:

1. Set elabBuildHaddocks = False at the point where the hash is
   initially computed.
2. Verify that elabBuildHaddocks = True will not lead to unexpected
   results.

The latter has been implemented.

The elabBuildHaddocks option is only consulted in
`hasValidHaddockTargets`, at which point documentation building the
executable component is disabled because elabHaddockExecutables is
False.

In the added test we ensure this by checking that we didn't build
documentation for the executable which is built because of
build-tool-depends.

Fixes haskell#6006 haskell#8313

* Only move code to Simple/GHC/Build*

* CPP mingw32_HOST_OS for more imports

* cabal-install-solver: fix pkgconf 1.9 --modversion regression

Check that the numbers of *versions* output is equal to the number of pkgconf's

fixes haskell#8923

(this should cover the case too of checking that equal pkgList lines are output also)

* External commands: Add tests for haskell#9402 haskell#9403 haskell#9404

This adds 4 tests which test the new external commands feature:

* ExternalCommand - Tests the expected usage of external command invoked
  via cabal-install
* ExternalCommandSetup - Tests that the ./Setup interface does not
  support external commands (haskell#9403)
* ExternalCommandEnv - Tests that environment variables are set and
  preserved appropiately  (haskell#9402)
* ExternalCommandHelp - Test that `cabal help <cmd>` is interpreted appropiately (haskell#9404)

* Finish off the external commands feature

* Remove 'CommandDelegate' in favour of abstracting the fallback in
  'commandsRun', there is a new variant 'commdandRunWithFallback' which
  takes a continuation
  - This restores the modularity between the `Cabal` library and
    `cabal-install` as now `Cabal` doesn't need to know anything about
    the external command interface.
  - Fixes haskell#9403
* Set the $CABAL environment variable to the current executable path
  - This allows external commands to be implemented by calling $CABAL,
    which is strongly preferred to linking against the Cabal library as
    there is no easy way to guantee your tool and `cabal-install` link
    against the same `Cabal` library.
  - Fixes haskell#9402
* Pass the name of the argument
  - This allows external commands to be implemented as symlinks to an
    executable, and multiple commands can be interpreted by the same
    executable.
  - Fixes haskell#9405
* `cabal help <cmd>` is interpreted as `cabal-<cmd> --help` for external
  commands.
  - This allows the `help` command to also work for external
  commands and hence they are better integrated into cabal-install.
  - Fixes haskell#9404

The tests are updated to test all these additions.

These features bring the external command interface up to par with the
cargo external command interface.

* Use Base16 hash for script path.

Issue haskell#9334 shows that `%` characters on Windows result in invalid
paths, also `/` characters on Linux create invalid paths.

This changes from using base64 to using base16 with the same length
we use for unit-ids.

* Migrate to haskell-actions/setup

As of 2023-09-09, haskell/action/setup is no longer maintained.

The comment

  # latest is mandatory for cabal-testsuite, see haskell#8133

is removed; as the validate job was already fixing a version of cabal-install.

* testsuite: Introduce Cabal-tests library for common testsuite functions

I noticed that Distribution.Utils.TempTestDir was only used in the
testsuite but defined in the Cabal library. Rather than expose this in
the public interface of the `Cabal` library, it is cleaner to refactor
it into a separate library (`Cabal-tests`) which can be used by any
testsuite component.

Also, in future it gives a clearer place to put utility functions which
need to be shared across the testsuite but not exposed in Cabal.
Cabal-tests can also freely add dependencies (such as exceptions) which
we might want to avoid adding to the Cabal library.

Fixes haskell#9453

* Use the newer haskell-actions organisation

* Restructure Cabal documentation top-level parts

The goal is for users to easier find pages for typical problems through search engines and page navigation.
- The top-level layout is based on the popular documentation structure by https://documentation.divio.com/ to give a
   clear structure to users and future documentation contributors:
  * Guides: Present a solution to a single, atomic, typical user problem.
  * Reference: Describe user API (CLI fields, syntax etc) with technical rigour and completeness.
  * Explanation: Discuss background information, scope, design decisions etc.
- Move existing documentation roughly into these categories with minimal editing as the basis for further editing.
- Rename guide titles to mention how-to for improving SEO.
- Rename some files to improve SEO since that name becomes part of the URL (often called slug).
  Important page keywords should appear in the slug as well to make pages rank higher in search engines.

* Add dependencies used by `PackageTests` to exe:cabal-tests

The runner allows the tests to use extra dependencies and the custom Prelude
from 'cabal-testsuite'.
However, if the tests use a dependency, say 'directory', and there are two
packages with the same unit id available in the store, the test fails since
it doesn't know which one to pick.
By including an extra dependency to directory, we force the test runner to
use a specific version directory, fixing the test failure.

* Integrate Artem’s review

(review) Clarify `combineNames` documentation

By explaining the way it operates (working if the two names are equal
or one is empty) and renaming the function from `combineName` to
`combineNames`.

(review) Use guards instead of if/then/else

(review) Match inside argument list

(review) Replace “white” with “allow”

(review) Fix typo in comment

(review) Fix typo in Check module documentation

(review) Harmonise indentation for `data` decls

First field goes in a new line than the data constructor, so we
have more space.

(review) Rename `Prim` module to `Types`

(review) Add checkPackageFilesGPD

`checkPackageFiles` — which works on PD — was used to perform IO. We
introduce a function that does the same thing but works on GPD (which
is more principled).

`checkPackageFiles` cannot just be removed, since it is part of the
interface of Distribution.PackageDescription.Check. Deprecation can
be planned once “new check” is up and running.

* Integrate Andreas’ review

(review) Add named section to missing upper bound check

“miss upper bound” checks will now list target type and name (“On
executable 'myexe', these packages miss upper bounds”) for easier
fixing by the user.

(review) remove `cabal gen-bounds` suggestion

Reasonable as `cabal gen-bounds` is stricter than `cabal check`, see
haskell#8427 (comment)
Once `gen-bounds` behaves in line with `check` we can readd the
suggestion.

(review) Do not warn on shared bounds

When a target which depends on an internal library shares some
dependencies with the latter, do not warn on upper bounds.

An example is clearer

    library
     build-depends: text < 5
    ⁝
     build-depends: myPackage,        ← no warning, internal
                    text,             ← no warning, shared bound
                    monadacme         ← warning!

* Integrate Artem’s review /II

(review) Split Check.hs

Check.hs has been split in multiple file, each une sub 1000 lines:

Check              857 lines
Check.Common       147 lines
Check.Conditional  204 lines
Check.Monad        352 lines
Check.Paths        387 lines
Check.Target       765 lines
Check.Warning      865 lines

Migration guide:
- Check              GPD/PD checks plus work-tree checks.
- Check.Common       common types and functions that are
                     *not* part of monadic checking setup.
- Check.Conditional  checks on CondTree and related matter
                     (variables, duplicate modules).
- Check.Monad        Backbone of the checks, monadic inter-
                     face and related functions.
- Check.Paths        Checks on files, directories, globs.
- Check.Target       Checks on realised targets (libraries,
                     executables, benchmarks, testsuites).
- Check.Warning      Datatypes and strings for warnings
                     and severities.

(review) remove useless section header

(review) Fix typo

(review) Add warnings documentation (list)

For each warning, we document constructor/brief description
in the manual.  This might not be much useful as not but it
will come handy when introducing `--ignore=WARN` and similar
flags.

* (review Andreas) Clarify CheckExplanation comment

Whoever modifies `CheckExplanation` data constructors needs to be
aware that the documentation in  doc/cabal-commands.rst  has to be
updated too.

* Move internal Check modules to `other-modules`

No need to expose Distribution.PackageDescription.Check.*
to the world. API for checking, for cabal-install and other
tools, should be in Distribution.PackageDescription.Check.

* Make fourmolu happy

Cabal codebase has now a formatter/style standard (see haskell#8950).

“Ravioli ravioli, give me the formuoli”

* Do not check for OptO in scripts

See haskell#8963 for reason and clarification requests.

* Remove useless PackageId parameter

It is now in the Reader part of CheckM monad.

* Do not check PVP on internal targets

Internal: testsuite, benchmark.
See haskell#8361.

* Make hlint happy

* Fix haskell#9122

When checking internal version ranges, we need to make sure we
are not mistaking a libraries with the same name but from different
packages. See haskell#9132.

* Fix grammar

neither…nor, completing what done in haskell#9162

* Integrate Brandon’s review: grammar

* Remove unnecessary `-fvia-C` check

* ci: Enable windows tests for 9.6.3

There were two failing tests:

1. CCompilerOverride, was attempting to use gcc.exe rather than
   clang.exe without also overriding the C options which led to
   incorrect options being passed to gcc.exe. The fix is to override to
   clang.exe on ghc-9.4 or newer.
2. ForeignLibs exposes a bug in GHC
   (https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/24185) and hence is
   skipped for GHCs newer than 9.4 where it was first introduced.

Towards fixing haskell#8451, we just need to fix the shared library issue now.

* testsuite: Be explicit about runtime test dependencies

Issue haskell#8356 reports occasional errors from running the testsuite about
multiple package versions available. This stems from the invokation of
`runghc` not being explicit about all dependencies of the testsuite.

The solution is provide a component in the cabal file which is explicit
about which packages the tests can depend on. This component has a
build-depends section which lists all the dependencies that the tests
require.

It would be better if this component was a library component but we
can't do this with a Custom setup because of limitations to do with
per-component builds.

Then we also enable `-hide-all-packages`, so the dependency will not be
available if it is not explicitly listed as a dependency.

You could also imagine a future where the Setup.hs script found the test
files and compiled a single executable which would run all the tests,
rather than invoking runghc on each one individually.

Fixes haskell#8356

* hurd: Enable using $ORIGIN in RPATH

GNU/Hurd fully supports RPATH and the $ORIGIN development, and we indeed
want to use it for relocatable installations shipped in Debian GNU/Hurd.

* Fix the platform string for GNU/Hurd

Since version 9.4.7-1, ghc fails to build on the GNU/Hurd port of Debian,
see

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=ghc&arch=hurd-i386&ver=9.4.7-1&stamp=1697717885&raw=0

Error, rule finished running but did not produce file:
  _build/stage0/lib/i386-gnu-ghc-9.4.6/ghc-boot-th-9.4.7/libHSghc-boot-th-9.4.7.a

and indeed, what did get produce was rather
_build/stage0/lib/i386-hurd-ghc-9.4.6/ghc-boot-th-9.4.7/libHSghc-boot-th-9.4.7.a
(i386-hurd instead of i386-gnu).

This is due to confusion between hurd and gnu in various places.  Apparently
previous versions of ghc were using gnu for the GNU/Hurd port, and thus
putting libraries etc. in i386-gnu. So we have to follow the existing
practice.

* Fix configuation of ldProgram

Standard GNU `ld` ues `--relocatable` while `ld.gold` uses a `-relocatable`
flag (with a single `-`). Code will now detect both versions.

* Chain configuration of ldProgram

`ldProgram` gets configured in two places, a seemingly default and
a GHC specific version. The later needs to be updated so that it
first calls the default configuration and then the new GHC version.

* Use linker capability detection to improve linker use

The function `comperSupportsGhciLibs` has been renamed to
`linkerSupportsGhciLibs` because its about the linker not the compiler.

The function `comperSupportsGhciLibs` was using the compiler version
as a proxy for whether the linker supports relocatable objects. Now
support for relocatable objects is detected by running the linker.

* add `merge+no rebase`

and a few typos while reviewing

* Add support for 64-bit SPARC as a separate architecture

Previously, sparc64 was defined as an alias for the 32-bit SPARC
architecture which was true while SPARC mainland was mostly 32
bits. More recently, 64-bit SPARC has become a port of its own,
so it needs to be treated as a separate architecture.

* Remove debug-conflict-sets flag from solver package

Fixes haskell#8937.

The debug-conflict-sets build flag probably hasn't been used for a long time,
and it isn't currently tested. This commit removes the flag, converts the
ConflictSet type back to a newtype, and removes an unnecessary instance.

* Finish improvements to the CI configuration for documentation changes (haskell#9460)

* Add bootstrap postjob to CI config

Add a new job to the bootstrap.yml GitHub action config.
This job succeeds if, and only if, all the other bootstrap
jobs succeed.

* Do not run bootstrap CI jobs for documentation changes

The approach was already introduced in haskell#9355 for the validate jobs.
This commit introduces the same change also for the bootstrap jobs.

* Also ignore CONTRIBUTING.md and README.md in CI

We do not run the entire CI suite for documentation changes.
Previously, only changes which were restricted to the 'docs/'
subdirectory were considered to be documentation changes.
With this commit we also recognize changes to README.md and
CONTRIBUTING.md as documentation changes.

* Document improved CI for documentation in CONTRIBUTING.md

The CONTRIBUTING.md file now mentions that documentation changes
do not waste expensive CI resources.

* Recognize all README.md in subdirs as documentation

Expensive CI jobs should not run on changes which affect only
README.md files.

* formatting: Add style-commit makefile target

This target allows you to format a range of commits, for example:

```
make style-commit COMMIT=HEAD~1
> Last commit is formatted
make style-commit COMMIT=abcde
> Commits between HEAD and abcde are formatted
```

* Fix assertion failure when combining build-tool-depends and --enable-documentation

The `setDocumentation` function was modifying the elaborated package
after the hash was computed. This led to the assertion failing as the
computed hash was different to what was computed in the initial install
plan.

Therefore in order to fix this we either needed to:

1. Set elabBuildHaddocks = False at the point where the hash is
   initially computed.
2. Verify that elabBuildHaddocks = True will not lead to unexpected
   results.

The latter has been implemented.

The elabBuildHaddocks option is only consulted in
`hasValidHaddockTargets`, at which point documentation building the
executable component is disabled because elabHaddockExecutables is
False.

In the added test we ensure this by checking that we didn't build
documentation for the executable which is built because of
build-tool-depends.

Fixes haskell#6006 haskell#8313

* testsuite: Improve error message in findDependencyInStore

* Only move code to Simple/GHC/Build*

* CPP mingw32_HOST_OS for more imports

* cabal-install-solver: fix pkgconf 1.9 --modversion regression

Check that the numbers of *versions* output is equal to the number of pkgconf's

fixes haskell#8923

The pkgconf behavior was reverted upstream in 2.0

(this should cover the case too of checking that equal pkgList lines are output also)

* External commands: Add tests for haskell#9402 haskell#9403 haskell#9404

This adds 4 tests which test the new external commands feature:

* ExternalCommand - Tests the expected usage of external command invoked
  via cabal-install
* ExternalCommandSetup - Tests that the ./Setup interface does not
  support external commands (haskell#9403)
* ExternalCommandEnv - Tests that environment variables are set and
  preserved appropiately  (haskell#9402)
* ExternalCommandHelp - Test that `cabal help <cmd>` is interpreted appropiately (haskell#9404)

* Finish off the external commands feature

* Remove 'CommandDelegate' in favour of abstracting the fallback in
  'commandsRun', there is a new variant 'commdandRunWithFallback' which
  takes a continuation
  - This restores the modularity between the `Cabal` library and
    `cabal-install` as now `Cabal` doesn't need to know anything about
    the external command interface.
  - Fixes haskell#9403
* Set the $CABAL environment variable to the current executable path
  - This allows external commands to be implemented by calling $CABAL,
    which is strongly preferred to linking against the Cabal library as
    there is no easy way to guantee your tool and `cabal-install` link
    against the same `Cabal` library.
  - Fixes haskell#9402
* Pass the name of the argument
  - This allows external commands to be implemented as symlinks to an
    executable, and multiple commands can be interpreted by the same
    executable.
  - Fixes haskell#9405
* `cabal help <cmd>` is interpreted as `cabal-<cmd> --help` for external
  commands.
  - This allows the `help` command to also work for external
  commands and hence they are better integrated into cabal-install.
  - Fixes haskell#9404

The tests are updated to test all these additions.

These features bring the external command interface up to par with the
cargo external command interface.

* Use Base16 hash for script path.

Issue haskell#9334 shows that `%` characters on Windows result in invalid
paths, also `/` characters on Linux create invalid paths.

This changes from using base64 to using base16 with the same length
we use for unit-ids.

* Migrate to haskell-actions/setup

As of 2023-09-09, haskell/action/setup is no longer maintained.

The comment

  # latest is mandatory for cabal-testsuite, see haskell#8133

is removed; as the validate job was already fixing a version of cabal-install.

* testsuite: Introduce Cabal-tests library for common testsuite functions

I noticed that Distribution.Utils.TempTestDir was only used in the
testsuite but defined in the Cabal library. Rather than expose this in
the public interface of the `Cabal` library, it is cleaner to refactor
it into a separate library (`Cabal-tests`) which can be used by any
testsuite component.

Also, in future it gives a clearer place to put utility functions which
need to be shared across the testsuite but not exposed in Cabal.
Cabal-tests can also freely add dependencies (such as exceptions) which
we might want to avoid adding to the Cabal library.

Fixes haskell#9453

* GHC 9.8 compat: pacify -Wx-partial

It seems, GHC 9.8 changed something in the code generation for data types.

* CI: GHC 9.8

* Use the newer haskell-actions organisation

* Restructure Cabal documentation top-level parts

The goal is for users to easier find pages for typical problems through search engines and page navigation.
- The top-level layout is based on the popular documentation structure by https://documentation.divio.com/ to give a
   clear structure to users and future documentation contributors:
  * Guides: Present a solution to a single, atomic, typical user problem.
  * Reference: Describe user API (CLI fields, syntax etc) with technical rigour and completeness.
  * Explanation: Discuss background information, scope, design decisions etc.
- Move existing documentation roughly into these categories with minimal editing as the basis for further editing.
- Rename guide titles to mention how-to for improving SEO.
- Rename some files to improve SEO since that name becomes part of the URL (often called slug).
  Important page keywords should appear in the slug as well to make pages rank higher in search engines.

Fixes haskell#9197

* Add dependencies used by `PackageTests` to exe:cabal-tests

The runner allows the tests to use extra dependencies and the custom Prelude
from 'cabal-testsuite'.
However, if the tests use a dependency, say 'directory', and there are two
packages with the same unit id available in the store, the test fails since
it doesn't know which one to pick.
By including an extra dependency to directory, we force the test runner to
use a specific version directory, fixing the test failure.

* Integrate Artem’s review

(review) Clarify `combineNames` documentation

By explaining the way it operates (working if the two names are equal
or one is empty) and renaming the function from `combineName` to
`combineNames`.

(review) Use guards instead of if/then/else

(review) Match inside argument list

(review) Replace “white” with “allow”

(review) Fix typo in comment

(review) Fix typo in Check module documentation

(review) Harmonise indentation for `data` decls

First field goes in a new line than the data constructor, so we
have more space.

(review) Rename `Prim` module to `Types`

(review) Add checkPackageFilesGPD

`checkPackageFiles` — which works on PD — was used to perform IO. We
introduce a function that does the same thing but works on GPD (which
is more principled).

`checkPackageFiles` cannot just be removed, since it is part of the
interface of Distribution.PackageDescription.Check. Deprecation can
be planned once “new check” is up and running.

* Integrate Andreas’ review

(review) Add named section to missing upper bound check

“miss upper bound” checks will now list target type and name (“On
executable 'myexe', these packages miss upper bounds”) for easier
fixing by the user.

(review) remove `cabal gen-bounds` suggestion

Reasonable as `cabal gen-bounds` is stricter than `cabal check`, see
haskell#8427 (comment)
Once `gen-bounds` behaves in line with `check` we can readd the
suggestion.

(review) Do not warn on shared bounds

When a target which depends on an internal library shares some
dependencies with the latter, do not warn on upper bounds.

An example is clearer

    library
     build-depends: text < 5
    ⁝
     build-depends: myPackage,        ← no warning, internal
                    text,             ← no warning, shared bound
                    monadacme         ← warning!

* Integrate Artem’s review /II

(review) Split Check.hs

Check.hs has been split in multiple file, each une sub 1000 lines:

Check              857 lines
Check.Common       147 lines
Check.Conditional  204 lines
Check.Monad        352 lines
Check.Paths        387 lines
Check.Target       765 lines
Check.Warning      865 lines

Migration guide:
- Check              GPD/PD checks plus work-tree checks.
- Check.Common       common types and functions that are
                     *not* part of monadic checking setup.
- Check.Conditional  checks on CondTree and related matter
                     (variables, duplicate modules).
- Check.Monad        Backbone of the checks, monadic inter-
                     face and related functions.
- Check.Paths        Checks on files, directories, globs.
- Check.Target       Checks on realised targets (libraries,
                     executables, benchmarks, testsuites).
- Check.Warning      Datatypes and strings for warnings
                     and severities.

(review) remove useless section header

(review) Fix typo

(review) Add warnings documentation (list)

For each warning, we document constructor/brief description
in the manual.  This might not be much useful as not but it
will come handy when introducing `--ignore=WARN` and similar
flags.

* (review Andreas) Clarify CheckExplanation comment

Whoever modifies `CheckExplanation` data constructors needs to be
aware that the documentation in  doc/cabal-commands.rst  has to be
updated too.

* Move internal Check modules to `other-modules`

No need to expose Distribution.PackageDescription.Check.*
to the world. API for checking, for cabal-install and other
tools, should be in Distribution.PackageDescription.Check.

* Make fourmolu happy

Cabal codebase has now a formatter/style standard (see haskell#8950).

“Ravioli ravioli, give me the formuoli”

* Do not check for OptO in scripts

See haskell#8963 for reason and clarification requests.

* Remove useless PackageId parameter

It is now in the Reader part of CheckM monad.

* Do not check PVP on internal targets

Internal: testsuite, benchmark.
See haskell#8361.

* Make hlint happy

* Fix haskell#9122

When checking internal version ranges, we need to make sure we
are not mistaking a libraries with the same name but from different
packages. See haskell#9132.

* Fix grammar

neither…nor, completing what done in haskell#9162

* Integrate Brandon’s review: grammar

* Remove unnecessary `-fvia-C` check

Brandon’s review/II.

* ci: Enable windows tests for 9.6.3

There were two failing tests:

1. CCompilerOverride, was attempting to use gcc.exe rather than
   clang.exe without also overriding the C options which led to
   incorrect options being passed to gcc.exe. The fix is to override to
   clang.exe on ghc-9.4 or newer.
2. ForeignLibs exposes a bug in GHC
   (https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/24185) and hence is
   skipped for GHCs newer than 9.4 where it was first introduced.

Towards fixing haskell#8451, we just need to fix the shared library issue now.

* testsuite: Be explicit about runtime test dependencies

Issue haskell#8356 reports occasional errors from running the testsuite about
multiple package versions available. This stems from the invokation of
`runghc` not being explicit about all dependencies of the testsuite.

The solution is provide a component in the cabal file which is explicit
about which packages the tests can depend on. This component has a
build-depends section which lists all the dependencies that the tests
require.

It would be better if this component was a library component but we
can't do this with a Custom setup because of limitations to do with
per-component builds.

Then we also enable `-hide-all-packages`, so the dependency will not be
available if it is not explicitly listed as a dependency.

You could also imagine a future where the Setup.hs script found the test
files and compiled a single executable which would run all the tests,
rather than invoking runghc on each one individually.

Fixes haskell#8356

* hurd: Enable using $ORIGIN in RPATH

GNU/Hurd fully supports RPATH and the $ORIGIN development, and we indeed
want to use it for relocatable installations shipped in Debian GNU/Hurd.

* Fix the platform string for GNU/Hurd

Since version 9.4.7-1, ghc fails to build on the GNU/Hurd port of Debian,
see

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=ghc&arch=hurd-i386&ver=9.4.7-1&stamp=1697717885&raw=0

Error, rule finished running but did not produce file:
  _build/stage0/lib/i386-gnu-ghc-9.4.6/ghc-boot-th-9.4.7/libHSghc-boot-th-9.4.7.a

and indeed, what did get produce was rather
_build/stage0/lib/i386-hurd-ghc-9.4.6/ghc-boot-th-9.4.7/libHSghc-boot-th-9.4.7.a
(i386-hurd instead of i386-gnu).

This is due to confusion between hurd and gnu in various places.  Apparently
previous versions of ghc were using gnu for the GNU/Hurd port, and thus
putting libraries etc. in i386-gnu. So we have to follow the existing
practice.

* Fix configuation of ldProgram

Standard GNU `ld` ues `--relocatable` while `ld.gold` uses a `-relocatable`
flag (with a single `-`). Code will now detect both versions.

* Chain configuration of ldProgram

`ldProgram` gets configured in two places, a seemingly default and
a GHC specific version. The later needs to be updated so that it
first calls the default configuration and then the new GHC version.

* Use linker capability detection to improve linker use

The function `comperSupportsGhciLibs` has been renamed to
`linkerSupportsGhciLibs` because its about the linker not the compiler.

The function `comperSupportsGhciLibs` was using the compiler version
as a proxy for whether the linker supports relocatable objects. Now
support for relocatable objects is detected by running the linker.

* add `merge+no rebase`

and a few typos while reviewing

* Add support for 64-bit SPARC as a separate architecture

Previously, sparc64 was defined as an alias for the 32-bit SPARC
architecture which was true while SPARC mainland was mostly 32
bits. More recently, 64-bit SPARC has become a port of its own,
so it needs to be treated as a separate architecture.

* Remove debug-conflict-sets flag from solver package

Fixes haskell#8937.

The debug-conflict-sets build flag probably hasn't been used for a long time,
and it isn't currently tested. This commit removes the flag, converts the
ConflictSet type back to a newtype, and removes an unnecessary instance.

* Finish improvements to the CI configuration for documentation changes (haskell#9460)

* Add bootstrap postjob to CI config

Add a new job to the bootstrap.yml GitHub action config.
This job succeeds if, and only if, all the other bootstrap
jobs succeed.

* Do not run bootstrap CI jobs for documentation changes

The approach was already introduced in haskell#9355 for the validate jobs.
This commit introduces the same change also for the bootstrap jobs.

* Also ignore CONTRIBUTING.md and README.md in CI

We do not run the entire CI suite for documentation changes.
Previously, only changes which were restricted to the 'docs/'
subdirectory were considered to be documentation changes.
With this commit we also recognize changes to README.md and
CONTRIBUTING.md as documentation changes.

* Document improved CI for documentation in CONTRIBUTING.md

The CONTRIBUTING.md file now mentions that documentation changes
do not waste expensive CI resources.

* Recognize all README.md in subdirs as documentation

Expensive CI jobs should not run on changes which affect only
README.md files.

* formatting: Add style-commit makefile target

This target allows you to format a range of commits, for example:

```
make style-commit COMMIT=HEAD~1
> Last commit is formatted
make style-commit COMMIT=abcde
> Commits between HEAD and abcde are formatted
```

* Fix assertion failure when combining build-tool-depends and --enable-documentation

The `setDocumentation` function was modifying the elaborated package
after the hash was computed. This led to the assertion failing as the
computed hash was different to what was computed in the initial install
plan.

Therefore in order to fix this we either needed to:

1. Set elabBuildHaddocks = False at the point where the hash is
   initially computed.
2. Verify that elabBuildHaddocks = True will not lead to unexpected
   results.

The latter has been implemented.

The elabBuildHaddocks option is only consulted in
`hasValidHaddockTargets`, at which point documentation building the
executable component is disabled because elabHaddockExecutables is
False.

In the added test we ensure this by checking that we didn't build
documentation for the executable which is built because of
build-tool-depends.

Fixes haskell#6006 haskell#8313

* testsuite: Improve error message in findDependencyInStore

* Only move code to Simple/GHC/Build*

* CPP mingw32_HOST_OS for more imports

* cabal-install-solver: fix pkgconf 1.9 --modversion regression

Check that the numbers of *versions* output is equal to the number of pkgconf's

fixes haskell#8923

The pkgconf behavior was reverted upstream in 2.0

(this should cover the case too of checking that equal pkgList lines are output also)

* External commands: Add tests for haskell#9402 haskell#9403 haskell#9404

This adds 4 tests which test the new external commands feature:

* ExternalCommand - Tests the expected usage of external command invoked
  via cabal-install
* ExternalCommandSetup - Tests that the ./Setup interface does not
  support external commands (haskell#9403)
* ExternalCommandEnv - Tests that environment variables are set and
  preserved appropiately  (haskell#9402)
* ExternalCommandHelp - Test that `cabal help <cmd>` is interpreted appropiately (haskell#9404)

* Finish off the external commands feature

* Remove 'CommandDelegate' in favour of abstracting the fallback in
  'commandsRun', there is a new variant 'commdandRunWithFallback' which
  takes a continuation
  - This restores the modularity between the `Cabal` library and
    `cabal-install` as now `Cabal` doesn't need to know anything about
    the external command interface.
  - Fixes haskell#9403
* Set the $CABAL environment variable to the current executable path
  - This allows external commands to be implemented by calling $CABAL,
    which is strongly preferred to linking against the Cabal library as
    there is no easy way to guantee your tool and `cabal-install` link
    against the same `Cabal` library.
  - Fixes haskell#9402
* Pass the name of the argument
  - This allows external commands to be implemented as symlinks to an
    executable, and multiple commands can be interpreted by the same
    executable.
  - Fixes haskell#9405
* `cabal help <cmd>` is interpreted as `cabal-<cmd> --help` for external
  commands.
  - This allows the `help` command to also work for external
  commands and hence they are better integrated into cabal-install.
  - Fixes haskell#9404

The tests are updated to test all these additions.

These features bring the external command interface up to par with the
cargo external command interface.

* Use Base16 hash for script path.

Issue haskell#9334 shows that `%` characters on Windows result in invalid
paths, also `/` characters on Linux create invalid paths.

This changes from using base64 to using base16 with the same length
we use for unit-ids.

* Migrate to haskell-actions/setup

As of 2023-09-09, haskell/action/setup is no longer maintained.

The comment

  # latest is mandatory for cabal-testsuite, see haskell#8133

is removed; as the validate job was already fixing a version of cabal-install.

* testsuite: Introduce Cabal-tests library for common testsuite functions

I noticed that Distribution.Utils.TempTestDir was only used in the
testsuite but defined in the Cabal library. Rather than expose this in
the public interface of the `Cabal` library, it is cleaner to refactor
it into a separate library (`Cabal-tests`) which can be used by any
testsuite component.

Also, in future it gives a clearer place to put utility functions which
need to be shared across the testsuite but not exposed in Cabal.
Cabal-tests can also freely add dependencies (such as exceptions) which
we might want to avoid adding to the Cabal library.

Fixes haskell#9453

* GHC 9.8 compat: pacify -Wx-partial

* GHC 9.8 compat: update hashes of data structures as computed by Structured

It seems, GHC 9.8 changed something in the code generation for data types.
Structured class is supposed to catch such cases.

* GHC 9.8 compat: bump base, update Unknown GHC

And bump Cabal's "supported version" of GHC

* CI: GHC 9.8

* merge master

* Hackage should be capitalized
