#8947: Depending on hint/ghc API fixes the binary version I can use -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nh2 | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHC API | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: backpack Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: GHC rejects | Unknown/Multiple valid program | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by ezyang): Technically this is this Cabal bug: the required feature is for Cabal to understand how some dependencies of a package should be considered "private" and thus have an extra degree of freedom when dependency solving. GHC already has the capability to link against multiple versions of binary; the problem is convincing Cabal that this is kosher. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8947#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
