Re: [Haskell-cafe] How to deal with dependency bounds for an application

Acutally... nevermind. It looks like I'll be able to do everything I need using your awesome tool Daniel! Thanks :-) On 4 July 2014 14:01, Alois Cochard wrote:

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your feedback!

I'll give it a try to match last two Haskell platforms, that sound reasonable.

How one should deal with such thing, I suppose having some docker container template for each platform version would be helpful? (specially when having to do that for multiple lib)

Cheers

Alois

Hi Alois,

Should I know what is the lowest possible combination of my dependencies who would compile... because if I'm too strict it might be difficult for some user to install? or maybe I should target as lowest what is in current haskell-platform?

Yes, looking at the last two haskell platforms might be a good pragmatical choice.

I even like the idea that much that I might add a feature to my own dependency handling tool cabal-bounds[1]:

cabal-bounds update --lower --haskel-platform=2012.4.0.0 ...

I think that getting the lower dependencies "right" is more an issue for libraries, because in the case of applications a cabal sandbox can avoid most of the possible problems.

Greetings, Daniel
