Does it ever make sense to have a dependency base < 5? Strictly speaking never, because you can never know if a future 4.x change breaks your package, but maybe there are some rules of thumb when it is allowed? Sjoerd On Aug 7, 2011, at 2:19 PM, Herbert Valerio Riedel wrote:
Hello GHC Users,
Below is a list compiled from my current index-00.tar listing 292 packages whose version constraints on `base` seem (since I used a very simple Haskell script, I expect there to be some false positives) to exclude the `base` package version 4.4.0.0 bundled with GHC 7.2.1-rc1.
Other changes that need to be considered when trying to fix packages for compilation w/ GHC 7.2:
- integer-gmp has been updated to 0.3.0.0 - BangPatterns are not enabled by default anymore w/ GHC 7.2 - TypeSynonymInstances don't overlap w/ FlexibleInstances anymore - Data.Typeable API has changed (this breaks `uniplate` for instance)
