#232: implement extended syntax for package version ranges ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: nominolo Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.6 Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: fixed Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: Changed syntax slightly: {{{ Tue Jul 29 16:16:12 BST 2008 Duncan Coutts * Use "pkg == 1.2.*" as the version wildcard syntax Rather than "pkg ~ 1.2.*". This seemed to be the consensus. The syntax "pkg == 1.2.*" means "pkg >= 1.2 && < 1.3" and it is to encourage people to put upper bounds on api versions. }}} And now documented too. {{{ Tue Jul 29 17:20:24 BST 2008 Duncan Coutts * Move docs for build-depends into the build information section Since it is shared between libs and exes. Extend the documentation to describe the syntax of version constraints, including the new version range syntax "build-depends: foo ==1.2.*". }}} -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/232#comment:5 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
