So I'm actually punting this out of 7.10.2, although if someone feels strongly, they can just re-open and we can consider it. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10530#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Now, with GHC 7.10.1 we have a similar problem with transformers-0.4.2.0. I guess this is not a problem related only to Agda, so I'm reopening the ticket. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10530#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Are you in a huge hurry to drop support for transformers-0.4.2.0?

I reopened the ticket no because there is a problem right now, but I want to avoid a possible future problem. Let's suppose Agda will use an instance only available in transformers-0.4.3.0 and let's suppose that a new version of the distribution X (for example, Ubuntu) will be shipped with GHC 7.10.2, which includes transformers-0.4.2.0. In consequence, or Agda will need to support both versions of transformers or the distribution X won't include Agda. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10530#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Of course, people are free to disagree. If it was a bugfix release, I'd probably feel differently (indeed, `binary` underwent a bump for 7.10.2 precisely because it had 2 real bugfixes). But here I don't think a bump is really necessary for a minor orphan addition in this case. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10530#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

An issue was reported in the Agda bug tracker yesterday (see [https://code.google.com/p/agda/issues/detail?id=1590 Issue 1590]). It seems the issue is related to a ''missing instance'' in transformers 0.3.0.0. This is exactly the class of problems I want to avoid. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10530#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
