Well, there's an obvious problem with what you suggest, since "parsec>=2.1" is plain wrong too! How common is this type of dependencies in practice? Personally I wouldn't write a dependency like that, instead I'd use a flag, but trying to enforcing that behaviour would be plain silly :) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: [email protected] jabber: [email protected] twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus _______________________________________________ arch-haskell mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/arch-haskell
