cabal-install-3.10.2.0 is available on ghcup, and is built with lib:Cabal-3.10.2.1.
cabal-install-3.10.2.1 is meant for source compilations and does not affect end-users.

Make Paths_ modules work with non-standard preludes again #5962
Windows: redo the fix to breakage caused by new autoconf; the wrong fix made cabal sometimes fail with old autoconf #7494 #7649
Regenerate bootstrap/ with GHC updated from 8.10.4 to 8.10.7
Include cmm-sources when linking shared objects #7182 #7252
cmm-sources
were not included in the final link when building a library as a shared object. Fix this.Prefer canonicalized path when guessing tools from GHC path #7390 #7392
Motivation
Often times, the user facing ghc
binary is
symlinked by other forces, such as the package manager,
tooling like ghcup etc. As such, the naming convention
(version suffix in particular) may not align with the
assumptions made in Cabal and it may find an incorrect ghc-pkg.
See:
Solution
Guessing the ghc-pkg path is already a hack and will be solved more appropriately in the future, see
As such, this patch provides a workaround for older, already existing GHC versions by first always following the symbolic link of the ghc binary (if it is one) and prefering its target directory as the guess lookup location.
Rationale
The canonicalized path of the ghc binary usually points to the bin/ directory unpacked from a bindist, which is less likely to be tampered with by distributions and tools. As such, prefering the canoncialized path should get us more robust results.
