cardano-api

[L-as]

How come cardano-api isn't here?

This is currently populated with what's needed for cardano-node at its last release. That's so we can get it to the point where this works with cardano-node, and make a decision about whether we're going to commit with this. Then we can move on to using it more widely, including adding the packages from cardano-node itself.

I'm asking because cardano-api has a sublibrary and that seems not to work well with Cabal or anything really when in a hackage repository.

Hmm, if so that's news to me. I thought it worked fine, but we should check.

Can you be more specific? I just did a test creating

• a temporary repository with cardano-api
• a project that pulls that repo
• a package with cardano-api:gen as build-depends

and everything seems to work ok.

Note that our tooling as little to do with hackage-server, we expose the same interface but we don't have any of the backend logic. AFAIK work to support public libraries in hackage-server is still in progress (see haskell/hackage-server#1119).

@andreabedini try exactDeps = true and cabal build in the development shell. Might happen with exactDeps = false too.

It's there.
