By the way, if you have several common deps it's perfectly ok to factor them out like this: Flag splitBase Description: Choose the new smaller, split-up base package. Library Build-Depends: network, HTTP, HTTP-Simple, MissingH, time>=1.1.1 if flag(splitBase) Build-Depends: base >= 3, containers else Build-Depends: base < 3 In a future version of Cabal we might have this nicer syntax: Library Build-Depends: base, network, HTTP ,HTTP-Simple, MissingH, time>=1.1.1 if package(base >= 3) Build-Depends: containers Duncan
