- Register the "network-uri" package which includes Network.URI to Hackage. - Put the DEPRECATED pragma to Network.URI of "network", suggesting usage of "network-uri". And upload "network" to Hackage.
I don't think this would work. If "network" still contains a module Network.URI and a package adds a dependency on "network-uri" which also exports a module Network.URI, then you would have to specify the package name in your import, i.e.: import "network-uri" Network.URI Then, once Network.URI is removed from "network", users have to edit their sources again to remove the explicit package import. I think the only reasonable way to handle things is to use flags in a .cabal file, i.e., the same way we had to deal with base-3 => base-4 transition (which was very annoying).
