# staversion
staversion is a command-line tool to look for version numbers of Haskell packages.
See `--help` message for detailed usage.
## Package version in Stackage
staversion mainly focuses on package versions in stackage, i.e. it answers to questions like "What version is the package X in stackage lts-Y.ZZ?" It aims to make it easier to write `build-depends` section in YOUR_PACKAGE.cabal.
$ staversion --resolver lts-4.2 conduit
------ lts-4.2
conduit ==1.2.6.1
$ staversion --resolver lts-4.2 --resolver lts-7.0 conduit
------ lts-4.2
conduit ==1.2.6.1
------ lts-7.0
conduit ==1.2.7
$ staversion --resolver lts-4.2 --resolver lts-6 conduit base
------ lts-4.2
conduit ==1.2.6.1,
base ==4.8.2.0
------ lts-6 (lts-6.31)
conduit ==1.2.9.1,
base ==4.8.2.0
staversion first reads build plan YAML files that are stored locally in your computer, then it tries to fetch them over network.
## Package version in Hackage
You can also look up the latest version numbers hosted on hackage with `--hackage` (`-H`) option.
$ staversion --hackage conduit base
------ latest in hackage
conduit ==1.2.8,
base ==4.9.0.0
## Package version for build-depends
You can also specify .cabal files in the query. In that case, staversion reads `build-depends` fields in all sections of those .cabal files, and shows versions of the dependency packages.
$ staversion --hackage staversion.cabal
------ latest in hackage
-- staversion.cabal - library
base ==4.9.0.0,
unordered-containers ==0.2.7.2,
aeson ==1.0.2.1,
text ==1.2.2.1,
bytestring ==0.10.8.1,
yaml ==0.8.21.1,
filepath ==1.4.1.1,
directory ==1.3.0.0,
optparse-applicative ==0.13.0.0,
containers ==0.5.9.1,
http-client ==0.5.5,
http-client-tls ==0.3.3,
http-types ==0.9.1,
transformers ==0.5.2.0,
transformers-compat ==0.5.1.4,
megaparsec ==5.1.2
(snip)
## Package version ranges over different resolvers
With `--aggregate` (`-a`) option, you can aggregate version numbers in different resolvers into a version range using the given aggregation rule.
For example, `or` rule just concatenates versions with `(||)` condition.
$ staversion --aggregate or -r lts-5 -r lts-6 -r lts-7 -H aeson
------ lts-5 (lts-5.18), lts-6 (lts-6.31), lts-7 (lts-7.20), latest in hackage
aeson ==0.9.0.1 || ==0.11.3.0 || ==1.1.1.0
`pvp` rule aggregates versions into a range that should be compatible with the obtained versions in terms of PVP (Package Versioning Policy.)
$ staversion --aggregate pvp -r lts-5 -r lts-6 -r lts-7 -H aeson
------ lts-5 (lts-5.18), lts-6 (lts-6.31), lts-7 (lts-7.20), latest in hackage
aeson >=0.9.0.1 && <0.10 || >=0.11.3.0 && <0.12 || >=1.1.1.0 && <1.2
You can use `--aggregate` option with querying .cabal files.
$ staversion --aggregate pvp -r lts-6 -r lts-7 -r lts-8 staversion.cabal
------ lts-6 (lts-6.31), lts-7 (lts-7.20), lts-8 (lts-8.8)
-- staversion.cabal - library
base >=4.8.2.0 && <4.9 || >=4.9.0.0 && <4.10,
unordered-containers >=0.2.7.2 && <0.3,
aeson >=0.11.3.0 && <0.12 || >=1.0.2.1 && <1.1,
text >=1.2.2.1 && <1.3,
bytestring >=0.10.6.0 && <0.11,
yaml >=0.8.22 && <0.9,
filepath >=1.4.0.0 && <1.5,
directory >=1.2.2.0 && <1.3 || >=1.3.0.0 && <1.4,
optparse-applicative >=0.12.1.0 && <0.13 || >=0.13.2.0 && <0.14,
containers >=0.5.6.2 && <0.6,
