Another silly question: hackage's haskell-platform has VERY precise dependency versions. If you're changing these in the Arch haskell-platform package, then why not simply relax the dependencies in the upstream .cabal file? Or: what is the benefit of having exact dependencies in hackage, if they're don't match the versions that an Arch/Debian/whatever user will get? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
