Drop or update the upper bounds of numerals and numerals-base
I’ve built both packages locally, and they seem to work fine with GHC 7.6.3. However, I can’t install them from Hackage due to the required dependencies. Could anyone drop or update the upper bounds? Alternatively, I could try to do so myself if someone provides the required permissions.

The page http://hackage.haskell.org/package/numerals lists the issue tracker and maintainer's email. Have you tried those? Also, as a quick workaround, Cabal's master branch has the option '--allow-newer'. Roman

I don’t use GitHub. Anyway, the tracker shows five open issues from 2012. And the latest commit was pushed on July 16, 2012. When I sent the previous message, I CC’d the maintainer. Apologies for the noise, but my emails to Gmail users usually end up in spam. I wanted to make sure that someone with the right permissions would see my message. How long should I wait before I can do the required work myself?

Thanks for letting me know, but I can’t expect that the users of my package would have that version installed.

Sigh. The community really does like the versioning equivalent of unsafePerformIO, doesn't it? -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net

Yes, it's extremely popular. I think it's a combination of no way to express soft/hard upper bounds and not enough people having been bitten by broken bound issues before the PVP.
Hello, maintainer here. It's true I haven't done much maintenance in the past year. At the very least the packages should build with the latest libraries so let's focus on that. I've pushed two patches to numerals-base and numerals to update the upper bounds of some dependencies. This includes the test suites.
