Leon's presumably talking about postgresql-simple-0.2.4.1, which uses
Database.PostgreSQL.*
Hackage2 will currently complain about anything that doesn't start with
one of:
Algebra, Codec, Control, Data, Database, Debug, Distribution,
DotNet, Foreign, Graphics, Language, Network, Numeric, Prelude,
Sound, System, Test, Text
Does anyone think that this check is currently useful, or should I just
turn it off?
Thanks
Ian
