[Haskell-cafe] Automatically test different versions of single dependency

[Alp Mestanogullari]

You can just write a bash script that will do:

    cabal install --constraint='bar == v'

for all the values of 'v' (0.1, 0.2, 1.2.5.1, ...) you are interested in.
You can be aware of all the existing versions just using the directory
listing in http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/containers/ (for the
'containers' package in this case) or by using cabal-install cleverly
maybe?

I just saw 'cabal info containers' gives a list of available versions, up
to a point... after which it says "(and 4 others)". So maybe go see how
'cabal info' does this? But all in all, this should give you enough to work
out a nice solution.
