Potential Refactors
Name | Short description | Estimated time | Estimated difficulty | Estimated risk | PRs |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
UnresolvedPkgLoc | Remove some maybes from PackageLocation, since in some places Nothing never gets used | 2-3h | 2/5 | 2/5 | |
Dependency as constraint | ??? | 3/5 | 4/5 | ||
Maybe UnqualComponentName | 1-2h | 1/5 | 1/5 |
In ElaboratedConfiguredPackage.elabPkgSourceLocation, RemoteSourceRepoPackage
cannot have a Nothing, but PackageLocation often has Maybe Filepath
as local
, leading to impossible cases like this one and silly code like this one.
We should remove the maybe wherever is possible.
@fgaz attempted this refactor here (remember to grep for undefined
). Here's the only place where he found a Nothing: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/blob/26938a5958088f3cf493b79cab0bfcd3d0ca7c71/cabal-install/Distribution/Client/IndexUtils.hs#L316
Maybe PackageLocation should have two type params: one for RepoTarballPackage (which can be Nothing) and one for the rest. Or just one for RepoTarballPackage.
