Hi all,

I think it would be interesting to test build a package with the "latest" and "oldest" allowed dependencies, to see if the dependency boundaries hold. For example, build the text[1] package with version 0.2 of test-framework-hunit (oldest allowed according to .cabal file) to see if that is still works.

Does anybody know of previous work on that? Does anybody have pointers on how to build with a specific version set? What is the easiest way to parse the dependencies in the cabal file, API pointers are also very much appreciated :)

I believe Bram Schuur (CC'd) worked on this during OdHac.

Trying his another email...

Still no luck. This is his github account, maybe try to reach him there: https://github.com/craffit

I believe this address still works. Regards, Erik
