Hi Cafe! I have program written in Haskell and Swift that runs on Mac. This program uses some features that was introduced in last version of OS X “Yosemite” 10.10, but some of my users use previous version "Maverics " 10.9. Is there some technique that allows me to extend my cabal file and specify which *version* of os is currently in use and don't load some of modules? AFAIK, Cabal's `conditional` doesn't provide such mechanism, but something like ``` if os(osx) && ver(=10.10) if os(osx) && ver(<=10.9) ``` will be nice. Maybe there is other approach to this problem?I don't want to use `CPP` extension to handle this within code. Thanks -- Best regards, Sergey Bushnyak

I don't see how you can avoid CPP. Even if cabal supported checking the OS version, you would still probably need CPP.

Usually, I'm using technique described here http://blog.haskell-exists.com/yuras/posts/stop-abusing-cpp-in-haskell.html by using `extra-source-dir` key in cabal file and splitting implementation. On 04/01/2015 05:56 PM, Aldo Davide wrote:
