Different flag settings for GHC 8.0

Hi everybody,

I have a package, pinchot, that uses Template Haskell, so some TH changes in GHC 8.0 meant that I had to create a compatibility module so that my package will work with both GHC 7.8 and GHC 8.0. To pick between the two versions of the compatibility module, I didn't use CPP; instead, I have a cabal flag. So the user has to set the cabal flag to make the build work with GHC 7.8; otherwise it will build for GHC 8.0.

cabal-install will automatically toggle flags, but Stack won't. So I will need to indicate to Stackage to leave the flag on for GHC 7.8, off for GHC 8.0. What's the best way to make this work with Stackage? Or should I be using a different workflow for this? Thanks. --Omari

I think it's a capitalization issue, I'm following up on the Github issue.
