Re: [Haskell-cafe] Fix plugins package.

Hi all,

I want to use *plugins* package (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/plugins-1.4.1)

Unfortunately, it looks broken. Anybody can fix it?

Try putting an upper bound in the constraint for `base'; since there's no upper bound, cabal-install defaults to "< 4", which conflicts with plugins _needing_ base >= 4. I think not just build-depend problem, something broken in plugins

The hint library might also do what you want: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hint

Wow, i didn't know it. Infact, i want implement a *fully* hot-swapping feature for Haskell application, not just re-compile/re-load module in runtime like Yi/Xmonad, i have code do that. I want to a Haskell interpreter to evaluation expression/module in runtime, then application can develop itself in runtime, don't need restart. hint library looks interesting..... Thanks for hint link. -- Andy
