#640: Cabal should warn about haskell98 dependencies ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD Severity: minor | Keywords: check, warn, haskell98 Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) | Ghcversion: Platform: | ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Comment(by guest): Since Haskell'98 is still de-facto the only actual language standard we have, and the haskell98 package embodies the libraries specified in that standard, I think it would be very presumptious to give a warning. Warnings should be reserved for things that are potentially dangerous, not for users who do the right thing and follow the published standards (unless the latter is actually broken, of course). -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/640#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
