...The last I checked hledger's latest stable version is 1.5 or so, MX17 (Debian 9?) has 1.0, would it be possible to update?
THANKS to everyone involved for MX17!

Debian Testing has 1.5, but sometimes Haskell language programs are a real headache to backport--let's see what happens. I also see that 1.10 is the current release.

Hmmm--we're missing some of the necessary build packages. No telling if those will in turn need even more to build:
Code: Select all
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy : Depends: libghc-here-dev which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package
Depends: libghc-here-prof which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package
Depends: libghc-hledger-lib-dev (>= 1.5) but 1.0.1-1+b1 is to be installed
Depends: libghc-utility-ht-dev (>= 0.0.13) but 0.0.12-3 is to be installed
Depends: libghc-here-doc which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package

Actually, those missing packages were covered in only three extra backports, so I did those first, and the build succeeded. I don't know how to use it, so I'm sending it to the test repo for you to play guinea pig.

SCARY FAST!!!! THANKS!!!!
So far it checks out great!!!! I realize that this is NOT a very popular app, so I'm in shock that it was DONE so fast... Wow, wow, wow ...
BTW, I did try to download/install their latest version using the script(s) they provide on the Hledger site, but ya, to no avail. Probably due to other dependencies as you found out -- so I did try to update on my own before requesting -- just so you know.
Thanks again.

I really hate to bother you again, but I failed to request one other accompanying app update that pairs with hledger, there's some others but, the one I really need is
hledger-ui. I REALLY APPRECIATE your kind help.

No problem! I'll look at it.
Since I learned how to do builds and cross-architecture package builds in pbuilder instead of firing up Virtual Box instances, it takes a lot less time and effort to do more complex backports like this.

Well, the -ui package is not backportable. It required a newer libghc-brick, and the Buster version of that needs a whole lot of additional backports. I tried the older brick versions from debian snapshots that only need a few backports, but after doing that, the builds all failed with a technical compiler error:
Code: Select all
src/Brick/AttrMap.hs:153:15: error:
* The constructor `Attr' should have 4 arguments, but has been given 3
* In the pattern: Attr s1 f1 b1
In an equation for `combineAttrs':
combineAttrs (Attr s1 f1 b1) (Attr s2 f2 b2)
= Attr
(s1 `combineMDs` s2) (f1 `combineMDs` f2) (b1 `combineMDs` b2)
/usr/share/cdbs/1/class/hlibrary.mk:147: recipe for target 'build-ghc-stamp' failed
As plan B, I tried backporting the additional larger set of packages needed for the Buster brick package, but one of those ended up having a different compiler failure...so I'm at a dead end.

THANK YOU for all you efforts regardless, very much appreciated.

...So might there be a chance for updating hledger now? Stable version of hledger is presently at 1.14.
Hoping at least for pkgs: hledger, hledger-ui, hledger-web to be upgraded.
Thank you.

No, MX is still on the same Stretch base.
