Hi,
After just going through a bit of pain with having to constrain dependent
packages to old versions for GHC 6.8.3, I found myself wondering how long
more we're going to support GHC 6.8 for. Do we have a policy on this
already? If not can we start discussing it?
For the record, here are the problems I had:
text-0.7.1.0 doesn't build on 6.8.3 because it depends on the Data.Data
module which was first introduced in 6.10.
QuickCheck-2.1.0.3 doesn't build with profiling for reasons I don't quite
understand - it complains about the "Panic" module from the ghc-6.8.3
package not being built for profiling, but this is likely to be a bit
painful to fix if it really is the problem.
In turn this requires constraining test-framework-quickcheck2 to < 0.2.5
(why didn't cabal figure that out for itself?)
In addition to the above there is a type witnesses failure which is no
doubt my fault and I plan to fix asap, unless we actually decide to drop
6.8 right now.
Cheers,
Ganesh
