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

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.
