Hi Café:
I created just now an issue in cabal-dev:
https://github.com/creswick/cabal-dev/issues/101
When compiling old developments, I wish cabal-dev to install and build dependencies that were available at a that time
I don't know if there are alternatives to solving this issue. I think that this is very useful and necessary, specially now when library updates are increasingly frequent.
Maybe this problem is already solved and I just don´t know (as is often the case, for example when, in a sudden aha moment, I reinvented cabal-install months after the release). That is the reason why I tell you about it here in order to discuss it.
This is an issue that the JVM ecosystem is struggling with as well. I'd encourage people who are thinking about implementing something to have a look at https://github.com/sbt/adept/wiki/NEScala-Proposal and especially the linked video.
