Please upload your plugin to Hackage if you want to be available @tittoassini @isovector @Ailrun @jneira @konn @berberman

When I implemented the Splice plugin, I factored out Ide.TreeTransform, which was part of the Tactics plugin, as a new package hls-exactprint-utils, since I need that functionality and their variants. Should I upload it as well?

[pepeiborra]

Yes, please do upload that too and extend maintainer privileges to @isovector

[konn]

Thad package includes codes by @isovector and @TOTBWF plus some variants and generalisation of the underlying monad I implement and it also lacks a license (which is inherited from Tactics plugin). I think I have to discuss on these with @isovector and @TOTBWF.

[isovector]

I generally prefer BSD-style licenses, but am happy inheriting Apache 2.0 if it makes life easier.

[Ailrun]

Class plugin is now uploaded.

[konn]

I generally prefer BSD-style licenses, but am happy inheriting Apache 2.0 if it makes life easier.

OK, then I will set it to Apache 2.0 and upload it to Hackage if @TOTBWF agrees.
Can I add @isovector (isovector on Hackage) and @TOTBWF (ReedMullanix on Hackage) as co-maintainers of hls-exactprint-utils after that? I think doing so makes situation smooth as Tactics plugin also depends on that package.

[isovector]

@konn just add me as the co-maintainer; @TOTBWF wasn't involved with that module.

[konn]

OK, so I will list I and you as a author/maintainer of hls-exactprint-utils, making pull-request for this, and upload to Hackage after it got merged!

[isovector]

Sounds good, thanks for taking the lead here!

As commented in irc and the other issue about uploading the package, we should update the README to include the hackage method of installation, and warning about a caveat: the haskell-language-server executable will only works with the ghc used for installing it. haskell-language-server-wrapper is able to choose the correct hls+ghc version if the executable follow the convention of add the ghc version as suffix.
So users will have to set the correct hls version on path before opening the project or copy the executable following the convention required by the wrapper.
