Hello *, As we're still in time to get this in before the GHC 7.8 freeze and this seems to be "the right thing" to do, are there any objections to implement this (specifically, adding a `deriving Data` to `base`s Data.Version for GHC 7.8.1)?

Hi,

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

Thanks, David

If the instances are hand-rolled in base, you'll need: instance Data Version where gfoldl k z (Version bs ts) = z Version `k` bs `k` ts gunfold k z c = case constrIndex c of 1 -> k (k (z Version)) _ -> error "Data.Data.gunfold(Version)" toConstr (Version _ _) = versionConstr dataTypeOf _ = versionType versionConstr :: ConstrversionConstr = mkConstr versionType "Version" ["versionBranch","versionTags"] Prefix versionType :: DataTypeversionType = mkDataType "Data.Version.Version" [versionConstr] On Thu, Sep 12, 2013 at 7:24 AM, Herbert Valerio Riedel wrote:
