[Haskell-cafe] How to deal with dependency bounds for an application

[Alois Cochard]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your feedback!

I'll give it a try to match last two Haskell platforms, that sound
reasonable.

How one should deal with such thing, I suppose having some docker container
template for each platform version would be helpful? (specially when having
to do that for multiple lib)

Cheers

Alois
