See https://downloads.haskell.org/~cabal/cabal-install-3.4.0.0/cabal-install-3.4.0.0-x86_64-windows.zip for the Windows bindist.

Thanks for the heads-up, was waiting for the release. I will add them after work today.

Hmm that release is kinda broken, the file inside has no extension so it won't run.

I can work around it but hesitant to do so if they are planning to fix it since that changes the sha256 and breaks the package. So will need to know if this is final.

Interesting! Is this a known issue, @phadej?

I don't remember changing anything in release.py

Also previous (release candidates) zip in http://oleg.fi/cabal-install-3.4.0.0-rc4/ has just "cabal" (not cabal.exe). I wasn't aware that is a problem.

The previous RC releases on chocolatey are ones I built myself. It's not a problem for the OS, which just checks the first two bytes of the file. But it's a problem for the shell (i.e. explorer can't run this, but granted, cabal is commandline anyway) and it's a problem for tools like chocolatey which filters executables based on extensions.

As I said not a problem for me, I can add a workaround (namely calling install-binfile explicitly), but it's highly unusual not to have an extension for a Windows program. I'm not sure what other tooling breaks.

Yes, I'm not arguing we shouldn't fix release.py. But I'd say the proper place to discuss that further is Cabal's issue tracker.

I created haskell/cabal#7298

Done, https://chocolatey.org/packages/cabal/3.4.0.0

Will take an hour or two to go through moderation. GHC 9.0 should follow shortly. (package was unable to be submitted until cabal was available)
