#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 | Keywords: Difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) | Ghcversion: 6.8.3 Platform: | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Cabal should warn about dependencies like `parsec <= 2.1.0.0`. It's almost certainly a mistake given the conventional semantics of version numvers. Something like `foo < 2.0` is quite common and it's relatively harmless so there's probably no point in warning. On the other hand `foo < 2.0.0` is weird. It says `foo-2.0` is ok, but `foo-2.0.0` or `foo-2.0.0.1` is not. Something like `foo <= 2.0` is a definately weird though since it excludes bug fixes like `foo-2.0.0.1` -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/395 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
