#418: 'cabal check' should warn about open lower bounds ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: Saizan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) | Ghcversion: 6.10.1 Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Dependencies of the form "foo > x" don't really make sense given the hackage version policy, since they exclude x but include x.y which is supposed to have a similar api, and if you want something introduced in a minor (or lesser) release you can explicitly mention that. Also what is often intended with that notation is foo >= (x+1), causing confusion. I propose that we allow only closed lower bounds, i.e. foo >= x. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/418 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
