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

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

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. Regards, Roel On 7 January 2014 22:38, Nikita Karetnikov wrote:
