haskell-ci 0.19.20241111 silently discards GHC 8.4.4

[andreasabel]

I am seeing

INFO Generating GitHub config for testing for GHC versions: 8.0.2 8.2.2 8.4.4 8.6.5 8.8.4 8.10.7 9.0.2 9.2.8 9.4.8 9.6.6 9.8.2 9.10.1

but there is no matrix entry created for ghc-8.4.4.

Generated matrix is:

Adjust jobs, ghcup-jobs etc.

Not sure what you mean, maybe your answer is to fragmentary.
I am working in a setting (almost) without a cabal.haskell-ci (it only has branches: master).
So the only configuration comes from the tested-with field in the .cabal file.

Here is the original workflow run: https://github.com/andreasabel/patience/actions/runs/11815323476?pr=1
I used my fork (based on haskell-ci 0.19.20241111) to generate the workflow, but then confirmed that 8.4.4 is also omitted in the original haskell-ci 0.19.20241111.
I now reverted my fork to skip the most recent commits that seemingly introduced the problem:

• Support multiple setup methods #749

So this PR seemed to have introduced the regression.

I meant that you can workaround the issue by setting ghcup-jobs, until I fix trhe issue.

[andreasabel]

Ok, I see. Wasn't sure whether you had acknowledged the issue.

Ok, thanks then!
I think I'll wait for the fix.

[andreasabel]

Thanks for the fix!
