How to obtain Cabal 3.6.0.0

[tscholak]

Hi, following #23, I've started today to look into using hsthrift. Unfortunately, all projects in this repository depend on cabal-version: 3.6, and I do not know how to install this unreleased version of Cabal. It would help me if you could share the Dockerfile for https://github.com/orgs/facebookincubator/packages/container/package/hsthrift%2Fci-base, because this image has it installed. Thanks.

nvm, I think I found it, https://github.com/facebookincubator/hsthrift/blob/b71b8199ea65934b2a63db4f1c7a19bfe9cb16f6/Dockerfile

will use this and see how far I get:

# build a post-3.4 cabal HEAD which includes support for the new
# 'hsc2hs-options' field.
RUN git clone https://github.com/haskell/cabal.git && cd cabal && git checkout f5f8d933db229d30e6fc558f5335f0a4e85d7d44
RUN cd cabal && sed -i 's/3.5.0.0/3.6.0.0/' */*.cabal
RUN cd cabal && cabal install cabal-install/ --allow-newer=Cabal-QuickCheck:Cabal --allow-newer=Cabal-described:Cabal --allow-newer=Cabal-tree-diff:Cabal --allow-newer=cabal-install:Cabal --allow-newer=cabal-install-solver:Cabal
RUN rm -rf cabal/

Hey @tscholak glad you found the dockerfile. Feel free to reopen if you bump into further issues getting Cabal 3.6 set up
