| 2026-01-09 12:45:55 +0100 | <danza> | this https://termbin.com/uecp is how i was specifying local packages before. Not terrible, but somewhat fragile, not portable, and recent cabal does not seem to put the file in that path anymore |
| 2026-01-09 12:40:30 +0100 | <danza> | *i am aware |
| 2026-01-09 12:40:23 +0100 | <danza> | anyway i am away that `packages` work locally, but the usability did not seem worth it to me. I much prefer `source-repository-package` |
| 2026-01-09 12:39:31 +0100 | <danza> | i tried with packages: ../*/*.cabal, because all my repos are under one folder, but that did not work |
| 2026-01-09 12:38:43 +0100 | <danza> | shouldn't the stanza somewhat specify _all_ dependencies? |
| 2026-01-09 12:35:21 +0100 | <newmind> | you can just `packages: path/to/your/package` in the cabal.project(.local), no need to publish anything |

| 2026-01-09 12:28:56 +0100 | <danza> | although i did not understand whether `source-repository-package` works without publishing on some concurrent versioning system, but publishing on github is not a problem at the moment |
| 2026-01-09 12:28:01 +0100 | <danza> | `source-repository-package` is neat! I was used to specify this via `packages` but was more awkward |

| 2026-01-09 12:11:56 +0100 | <danza> | i see |
| 2026-01-09 12:11:49 +0100 | <Leary> | They both `cabal.project` stanzas. |

| 2026-01-09 12:11:30 +0100 | <danza> | the doc you linked is for the `cabal.project` solution, right? |
| 2026-01-09 12:09:40 +0100 | <danza> | thanks Leary |
| 2026-01-09 12:09:11 +0100 | <Leary> | danza: It's plenty common. If you want to develope it together with the revdep, add it to `packages` in `cabal.project`. Otherwise you can make it a `source-repository-package`. See: https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cabal-project-description-file.html |

| 2026-01-09 12:02:04 +0100 | <danz99375> | i am surprised this is not a more common usecase. I don't want to clutter hackage with my silly personal packages |

| 2026-01-09 12:01:18 +0100 | <danz99375> | hey all. What is the simplest way to depend on a local package with cabal? Pointers to docs appreciated |
