Hi Cafe,<br>
<br>
I have a Haskell project which has ~90 dependencies (transitively)
and is managed with plain cabal (w/o stackage, etc.). I try to keep
it compile with a few latest releases of GHC (so right now 7.8.4,
7.10.1, 7.10.2 and 7.10.3).<br>
It was tractable with conditionals in the cabal config file with
minor annoyance. But recently I found this issue:<span
class="js-issue-title" style="box-sizing: border-box;">
language-c-quote-0.11.3 does not compile with alex 3.1.5</span>
[1]. I was wondering if I should also allow a few versions of
executables, like alex, happy, etc (I can see though it will be a
huge pain); or should I force all users to use the latest versions
of them (I don't know if they are compatible with old ghc versions)?
What's the common practice for other projects? Any hints? What
should I write in my cabal config?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Zilin<br>
