Or they have no upper bound on the version of base in their .cabal file, so cabal-install tries to be clever and defaults to base-3 to be safe (from when base-4 was introduced and many packages wouldn't build with it). Nowadays, is there any reason why we need to consider base-3 compatibility any more? Is it viable to just use base-4 and not bother with extensible-exceptions as a compatibility layer? -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic ivan.miljeno...@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
