Hi all, I've tried using the dropbox sdk package from package today. But it is a bit outdated I can't get it to compile. I 've tried using stack init, with various resolvers. One of the problems seems to be that the dependencies for the certificate package used to by dropbox-sdk, enforces base < 4.8. How should I best tackle this problem ? Should I assume that the certificate package should be replaced by something else? And just try to modify the code ? I know it's open source, so I would prefer trying out a fix, and submitting a patch request, rather than bothering the maintainers. Thanks for your help, Pieter -- Pieter Laeremans pieter@laeremans.org

The certificate package: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/certificate is deprecated. Dropbox-sdk should be update to use the package that replaces it: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/x509

Once you replace the certificate dependency with x509 some code modifcations may be needed. Erik -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Erik de Castro Lopo http://www.mega-nerd.com/

Thanks Erik, I've should have looked better. kind regards, Pieter -- Pieter Laeremans pieter@laeremans.org On Mon, Jan 23, 2017, at 08:55 PM, Erik de Castro Lopo wrote:
