Fix broken build of performWithRetry

[dahlia]

Fixes #13.

It was broken due to retry-0.7's changing of retrying function.

A job on GHCVER=7.6.3 is broken, but it seems it has been so.

+1 I also need this.

@guillaume-nargeot can we get this merged and a new package version published ?

[dahlia]

@guillaume-nargeot Could you review this?

[NickSeagull]

So this is not maintained anymore?

You can likely drop support for 7.6 at this point and add support for GHC 8's.

If you want, you can use this drop-in circleci config: https://gist.github.com/creichert/efb84716d628c431e827ff95289b6aa7

It will test lts-9 to lts-12 and has a nightly resolver test too. All you would need to do is change the "package.yaml" to your cabal file if not using hspec.

I'd be happy to submit a PR. I think it's important to get this project up-to-date because it's practically the only viable option for coverage in Haskell.

Additionally, we should enable reports for this repo and upload them. Do you want PRs?

Friendly ping. I'd like to use this as well, but is still broken. Guillaume, do you intend to update this?

[DamienCassou]

Same for me.

I give up this old pull request. 👋🏼 To whom long-waited this to be merged: use the hpc-codecov package instead, which is actively maintained.
