Which prevents cabal from picking it as part of a build plan. This of
course doesn't handle the dissemination issue of course. A deprecated version is not a hard constraint. In particular Cabal seems to
prefer installed versions over deprecations, so in a lot of cases the
deprecated versions will still be picked. On Tuesday, July 8, 2014, Mark Wotton Hi all, there was a security update to the underlying library to one of my
bindings last night (lz4) and it got me thinking - how do we handle
security updates as a community? I typically find out from IRC or
twitter now, which isn't particularly reliable. Might it be possible
to mark an update on Hackage as a security update rather than feature
update? cheers
