#689: Package checker shouldn't warn about deprecated extensions inside conditionals ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.3 Severity: normal | Resolution: wontfix Keywords: | Difficulty: unknown Ghcversion: | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: The warning is correct and safe. You can use `ScopedTypeVariables`. It has been supported in ghc since ghc-6.4 (which is the earliest version of ghc supported by cabal). In the other example of a deprecated extension, you can use the new extension name with the older ghc versions because cabal translates to the old alias. With future deprecations we must be careful to do the same or otherwise not to recommend incorrect solutions. I've added a note about this to the deprecation list. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/689#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
