Creating the network-bsd package
Hi, We the network package maintainers are planning to release network v3.0.0.0 which enables extending socket addresses. In this version, we will remove the Network.BSD module which version 2.7 already deprecates. Unfortunately, it appeared that many users use Network.BSD and there is no good alternative. So, I would like to split it into another package, say, network-bsd. Some years ago, the same thing happened to Network.URI, resulting in the network-uri and network-uri-flag packages. Currently, I'm planing to take the same approach: ---- flag network-bsd library -- ... if flag(network-bsd) build-depends: network-bsd >= 3.0, network >= 3.0 else build-depends: network-bsd < 3.0, network < 3.0 --- Or ---- build-depends: network >= 2.5 && < 2.7, network-bsd >= 2.5 && < 2.7, network-bsd-flag == 0.1.* --- Question: is this a correct appoarch? Or are there any better ways to split Netwrok.BSD? --Kazu
I was having trouble because of the deprecation; network-bsd would be
really appreciated. As for splitting, I think there's nothing special to
do. On users side I'd prefer flags.
