Getting Ogma into stackage

[ivanperez-keera]

We need to get Ogma into stackage. It'll help with the inclusion in Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu.

@fdedden is this something you can help us with? (If anyone else would like to help with this, please let me know.)

Will any changes be needed in the repo?

[ivanperez-keera]

I believe the following would need to be added to the build-constraints.yaml:

hxt-xpath
jsonpath
ogma-cli
ogma-core
ogma-extra
ogma-language-c
ogma-language-cocospec
ogma-language-copilot
ogma-language-jsonspec
ogma-language-smv
ogma-language-xmlspec
ogma-spec

Also, possibly, the following unless they are distributed with GHC already:

Cabal
Cabal-syntax

I can definitely help with adding them to Fedora afterwards. I am not sure what exactly needs to be done to add them to stackage, but I can take a look.

[ivanperez-keera]

I think it just needs to be added to this file: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stackage/blob/master/build-constraints.yaml

[fdedden]

I added the packages and made a PR: commercialhaskell/stackage#7703. Currently figuring out a way to test the packages.

Some manual testing raised some problems: the current upper bounds on some dependencies are too low for the Stackage Nightly. At least some of the bounds have already been updated since the release of 1.6.0, so that might not be a problem anymore after the next release.
