#222: Hackage should be able to track which version of package is compatible with which version of GHC --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: HackageDB website | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: project(> week) Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by ross@soi.city.ac.uk): Packages can declare dependencies on particular versions of the base package, which is often what is meant anyway. Of course using configurations to make it work with both is even better. However the issue remains if a version of a package uses a language extension introduced in a particular version of GHC. A work-around would be to use base version as a proxy for GHC version, but the real thing would be cleaner. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/222#comment:2 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
