[Haskell-cafe] Re: How does cabal determine version ranges in the dependencies?

...

If it doesn't break dependencies, it won't be called http 4001, it will be called 4000.0.9 :)

Check:

http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Package_versioning_policy

I see. Thanks for the link. I wasn't aware of the versioning policy. Just to clarify though, wouldn't the next higher major version by 4000.1 rather than 4001?

Hmm... I think so. Conformance to these policies are rather new, I believe. I have to say I didn't know about PVP a few weeks ago, when an user of a package I maintain sugested me to follow it. Maurício
