Re: Data instance for Data.Version

Hi,

Can we derive Data for Data.Version.Version? It would benefit Cabal.

Thanks, David

On a related note, what about also moving some (maybe all) of the nice Distribution.Version related functions from the Cabal package to Data.Version? I am sure other libraries would also be interested in using this functionality without having to include Cabal as a whole. One example is the Ghc runtime itself: this could be one small step in removing dependencies from Ghc to Cabal.
