Distribution.Version

Contents

Description

Exports the Version type along with a parser and pretty printer. A version is something like "1.3.3". It also defines the VersionRange data types. Version ranges are like ">= 1.2 && < 2".

Synopsis

Package versions

data Version #

A Version represents the version of a software entity.

Instances of Eq and Ord are provided, which gives exact equality and lexicographic ordering of the version number components (i.e. 2.1 > 2.0, 1.2.3 > 1.2.2, etc.).

This type is opaque and distinct from the Version type in Data.Version since Cabal-2.0. The difference extends to the Binary instance using a different (and more compact) encoding.

Since: 2.0.0.2

version0 :: Version #

Version 0. A lower bound of Version.

Since: 2.2

mkVersion :: [Int] -> Version #

Construct Version from list of version number components.

For instance, mkVersion [3,2,1] constructs a Version representing the version 3.2.1.

All version components must be non-negative. mkVersion [] currently represents the special null version; see also nullVersion.

Since: 2.0.0.2

mkVersion' :: Version -> Version #

Variant of mkVersion which converts a Data.Version Version into Cabal's Version type.

Since: 2.0.0.2

versionNumbers :: Version -> [Int] #

Unpack Version into list of version number components.

This is the inverse to mkVersion, so the following holds:

(versionNumbers . mkVersion) vs == vs

Since: 2.0.0.2

nullVersion :: Version #

Constant representing the special null Version

The nullVersion compares (via Ord) as less than every proper Version value.

Since: 2.0.0.2

alterVersion :: ([Int] -> [Int]) -> Version -> Version #

Apply function to list of version number components

alterVersion f == mkVersion . f . versionNumbers

Constructing

anyVersion :: VersionRange #

The version range -any. That is, a version range containing all versions.

withinRange v anyVersion = True

noVersion :: VersionRange #

The empty version range, that is a version range containing no versions.

This can be constructed using any unsatisfiable version range expression, for example > 1 && < 1.

withinRange v noVersion = False

thisVersion :: Version -> VersionRange #

The version range == v

withinRange v' (thisVersion v) = v' == v

notThisVersion :: Version -> VersionRange #

The version range || v

withinRange v' (notThisVersion v) = v' /= v

laterVersion :: Version -> VersionRange #

The version range > v

withinRange v' (laterVersion v) = v' > v

earlierVersion :: Version -> VersionRange #

The version range < v

withinRange v' (earlierVersion v) = v' < v

orLaterVersion :: Version -> VersionRange #

The version range >= v

withinRange v' (orLaterVersion v) = v' >= v

orEarlierVersion :: Version -> VersionRange #

The version range <= v

withinRange v' (orEarlierVersion v) = v' <= v

unionVersionRanges :: VersionRange -> VersionRange -> VersionRange #

The version range vr1 || vr2

  withinRange v' (unionVersionRanges vr1 vr2)
= withinRange v' vr1 || withinRange v' vr2

intersectVersionRanges :: VersionRange -> VersionRange -> VersionRange #

The version range vr1 && vr2

  withinRange v' (intersectVersionRanges vr1 vr2)
= withinRange v' vr1 && withinRange v' vr2

differenceVersionRanges :: VersionRange -> VersionRange -> VersionRange #

The difference of two version ranges

  withinRange v' (differenceVersionRanges vr1 vr2)
= withinRange v' vr1 && not (withinRange v' vr2)

Since: 1.24.1.0

invertVersionRange :: VersionRange -> VersionRange #

The inverse of a version range

  withinRange v' (invertVersionRange vr)
= not (withinRange v' vr)

withinVersion :: Version -> VersionRange #

The version range == v.*.

For example, for version 1.2, the version range == 1.2.* is the same as >= 1.2 && < 1.3

withinRange v' (laterVersion v) = v' >= v && v' < upper v
  where
    upper (Version lower t) = Version (init lower ++ [last lower + 1]) t

majorBoundVersion :: Version -> VersionRange #

The version range ^>= v.

For example, for version 1.2.3.4, the version range ^>= 1.2.3.4 is the same as >= 1.2.3.4 && < 1.3.

Note that ^>= 1 is equivalent to >= 1 && < 1.1.

Since: 2.0.0.2

Inspection

withinRange :: Version -> VersionRange -> Bool #

Does this version fall within the given range?

This is the evaluation function for the VersionRange type.

isAnyVersion :: VersionRange -> Bool #

Does this VersionRange place any restriction on the Version or is it in fact equivalent to AnyVersion.

Note this is a semantic check, not simply a syntactic check. So for example the following is True (for all v).

isAnyVersion (EarlierVersion v `UnionVersionRanges` orLaterVersion v)

isNoVersion :: VersionRange -> Bool #

This is the converse of isAnyVersion. It check if the version range is empty, if there is no possible version that satisfies the version range.

For example this is True (for all v):

isNoVersion (EarlierVersion v `IntersectVersionRanges` LaterVersion v)

isSpecificVersion :: VersionRange -> Maybe Version #

Is this version range in fact just a specific version?

For example the version range ">= 3 && <= 3" contains only the version 3.

simplifyVersionRange :: VersionRange -> VersionRange #

Simplify a VersionRange expression. For non-empty version ranges this produces a canonical form. Empty or inconsistent version ranges are left as-is because that provides more information.

If you need a canonical form use fromVersionIntervals . toVersionIntervals

It satisfies the following properties:

withinRange v (simplifyVersionRange r) = withinRange v r
    withinRange v r = withinRange v r'
==> simplifyVersionRange r = simplifyVersionRange r'
 || isNoVersion r
 || isNoVersion r'

foldVersionRange #

Arguments

:: a

"-any" version

-> (Version -> a)
"== v"
-> (Version -> a)
"> v"
-> (Version -> a)
"< v"
-> (a -> a -> a)

"_ || _" union

-> (a -> a -> a)

"_ && _" intersection

-> VersionRange 
-> a 

Fold over the basic syntactic structure of a VersionRange.

This provides a syntactic view of the expression defining the version range. The syntactic sugar ">= v", "<= v" and "== v.*" is presented in terms of the other basic syntax.

For a semantic view use asVersionIntervals.

normaliseVersionRange :: VersionRange -> VersionRange #

Normalise VersionRange.

In particular collapse (== v || > v) into >= v, and so on.

hasUpperBound :: VersionRange -> Bool #

Does the version range have an upper bound?

Since: 1.24.0.0

hasLowerBound :: VersionRange -> Bool #

Does the version range have an explicit lower bound?

Note: this function only considers the user-specified lower bounds, but not the implicit >=0 lower bound.

Since: 1.24.0.0

Utilities

majorUpperBound :: Version -> Version #

Compute next greater major version to be used as upper bound

Since: 2.2

Modification

removeUpperBound :: VersionRange -> VersionRange #

Given a version range, remove the highest upper bound. Example: (>= 1 && < 3) || (>= 4 && < 5) is converted to (>= 1 && || (= 4).

removeLowerBound :: VersionRange -> VersionRange #

Given a version range, remove the lowest lower bound. Example: (>= 1 && || (= 4 && < 5) is converted to (>= 0 && || (= 4 && < 5).

Version intervals view

asVersionIntervals :: VersionRange -> [VersionInterval] #

View a VersionRange as a union of intervals.

This provides a canonical view of the semantics of a VersionRange as opposed to the syntax of the expression used to define it. For the syntactic view use foldVersionRange.

Each interval is non-empty. The sequence is in increasing order and no intervals overlap or touch. Therefore only the first and last can be unbounded. The sequence can be empty if the range is empty (e.g. a range expression like && 2).

Other checks are trivial to implement using this view. For example:

isNoVersion vr | [] <- asVersionIntervals vr = True
               | otherwise                   = False
isSpecificVersion vr
   | [(LowerBound v  InclusiveBound
      ,UpperBound v' InclusiveBound)] <- asVersionIntervals vr
   , v == v'   = Just v
   | otherwise = Nothing

VersionIntervals abstract type

The VersionIntervals type and the accompanying functions are exposed primarily for completeness and testing purposes. In practice asVersionIntervals is the main function to use to view a VersionRange as a bunch of VersionIntervals.

data VersionIntervals #

A complementary representation of a VersionRange. Instead of a boolean version predicate it uses an increasing sequence of non-overlapping, non-empty intervals.

The key point is that this representation gives a canonical representation for the semantics of VersionRanges. This makes it easier to check things like whether a version range is empty, covers all versions, or requires a certain minimum or maximum version. It also makes it easy to check equality or containment. It also makes it easier to identify 'simple' version predicates for translation into foreign packaging systems that do not support complex version range expressions.

toVersionIntervals :: VersionRange -> VersionIntervals #

Convert a VersionRange to a sequence of version intervals.

fromVersionIntervals :: VersionIntervals -> VersionRange #

Convert a VersionIntervals value back into a VersionRange expression representing the version intervals.

withinIntervals :: Version -> VersionIntervals -> Bool #

Test if a version falls within the version intervals.

It exists mostly for completeness and testing. It satisfies the following properties:

withinIntervals v (toVersionIntervals vr) = withinRange v vr
withinIntervals v ivs = withinRange v (fromVersionIntervals ivs)

versionIntervals :: VersionIntervals -> [VersionInterval] #

Inspect the list of version intervals.

mkVersionIntervals :: [VersionInterval] -> VersionIntervals #

Directly construct a VersionIntervals from a list of intervals.

In Cabal-2.2 the Maybe is dropped from the result type.
