Allow ipkg sourcedir to have deep location

#4618

[melted]

This requires the dir to be quoted. Breaking compatibility and it’s not so nice in a config file. Either we should allow both forms (easy to do), or we should parse an unquoted path (harder).

[melted]

Hmmm. Can we just read to the newline, trim whitespace and parse that as a path?

Thanks for the PR anyway!

Good point @melted so I've implemented the easy option in this new commit. I find it quite normal to allow simple things unquoted and complicated things quoted.

What tends to be the release schedule for Idris? Not being pushy here, just want to get some idea of how long bugs like this tend to get fixed. Also @melted is my PR ok now that I have enabled quoted and unquoted parsing?

[melted]

@shmish111 Work on Idris has slowed down (with all the effort Edwin is putting into Blodwen, Idris in Idris), but there have been several releases a year even so. But the exact timing depends on need, a new release of GHC usually provides motivation with breaking code.

That's awesome thanks @melted
