`cabal` plugin
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to add a `cabal` plugin for building Haskell projects. Maintainer lengau acknowledged it ('not working on this but happy to accept PRs') and volunteer EdmilsonRodrigues offered to implement it, but got no reply. No cabal plugin exists in the codebase.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The request is valid and unfulfilled: grep for 'cabal' across the repo returns no matches, git log for 'cabal'/'haskell' in craft-parts returns no commits, and no cabal plugin file exists under craft_parts/plugins/, so nothing has been fixed. It is already categorised (Type: Enhancement) and the author/maintainer replied with a concrete use case (Shellcheck's snapcraft.yaml), so it is triaged and should stay open; however there is no design spec or maintainer answer to EdmilsonRodrigues' 2026-01-09 offer, which is why actionability is only mid-range. Repo history shows a well-trodden path for such plugins (e.g. 'feat: add bazel plugin (#1491)', 'feat: add ruby plugin (#1395)', 'feat: add colcon plugin (#1434)'), so complexity is moderate rather than high, though cabal's GHC/cabal-install v2-build dependency resolution and version-pinning semantics add real design work.
