#395: Warn about dependencies like parsec <= 2.1.0.0 ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) Ghcversion: 6.8.3 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * cc: Saizan (added) Comment: In #418 Saizan notes: 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/395#comment:2 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
