Show-Ghc only shows old ghc versions

[spamviech]

Using Show-Ghc only displays old ghc-versions, even though a newer on (8.10.1) is already installed using chocolatey:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Show-Ghc                                                                                        Chocolatey v0.10.15

ghc 7.6.3.1 [Approved]
ghc 7.8.2.1 [Approved]

6 packages found.

Using choco search returns the current version

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> choco search ghc                                                                                Chocolatey v0.10.15

The following is the part of this issue.

This is maybe a Chocolatey issue. It seems that the --all-versions option removes the newest version.

This issue chocolatey/choco#1982 saids

This may be due to caching with chocolatey.org and issues over there.

[kakkun61]

First, the Chocolatey repository has more many versions of the GHC.
https://chocolatey.org/packages/ghc#versionhistory

[kakkun61]

After version 3.0, ghcups doesn't depend on the Chocolatey.

Now Show-Ghc returns:

@spamviech, if you don't mind, close this issue.

Yes, works great now.
Don't want to look at the code, but couldn't help to notice a version.yaml.
Does this mean ghcups has to be updated with ever new ghc/cabal version?
If so, what is the corresponding command?

PS:
You should add to your ReadMe, that 7-zip has to be in the PATH-Variable.

Thank you for checking.

Does this mean ghcups has to be updated with ever new ghc/cabal version?

No, when new versions will have the same URL patterns to distribute and the same installation processes. When they will be changed, fixes of ghcups get to be necessary.

The versions in version.yaml have the same ones.

If so, what is the corresponding command?

Update-Module is.

You should add to your ReadMe, that 7-zip has to be in the PATH-Variable.

Yes, you are right!
