how to force hackage to use ghc 6.12.3
Hi,
I have been releasing packages on hackage that do not build with ghc 7.0.* due
to a bug that will be fixed in ghc 7.2.1. (One of the packages is
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/AERN-Basics)
I was hoping hackage will try also ghc 6.12.3 but it does not. Is there some
way I can change the cabal file to help hackage to compile it with 6.12.3 and
generate haddock? The package requires base >= 4 so I cannot try base < 4.

base >= 4 && < 4.3 should do it

That will stop users from building it with ghc 7.0, but I'm afraid the build client only uses the latest version, so these won't be fixed until ghc 7.2 is released.

Daniel, Ross,
Thank you for your help. I decided to add base < 4.3 to stop users trying to
compile it with ghc 7.* and provided links to haddock documentation hosted
elsewhere for the time being.
