Or how would you proceed if you need a Binary instance (from package binary) for UTCTime (from package date), as I do in arbtt?
I need instance Binary UTCTime for my project, and instances for the other data types would be handy as well. If you consider such an instance of general use, it would be nice if you'd upload a new version of your package with that instance to hackage soon. Otherwise, I'll use an instance in my own package. Please let me know your decision, Regards, Joachim PS@-cafe: I still have doubts that this approach will scale as hackage grows. We’d get a lot more dependencies than we have now, and still would face this problem every now and then. Or do you really want packages that provide data types (like time) depend on all the libraries that do some kind of conversion (binary, html, xhtml, json, yaml, etc.)? -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner mail: mail@joachim-breitner.de | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Key: 4743206C JID: nomeata@joachim-breitner.de | http://www.joachim-breitner.de/ Debian Developer: nomeata@debian.org
