Re: [Haskell-cafe] How to determine minimal dependency of package
Based on the package versioning policy [1], A.B is a major version, so if you know that it works with 1.2, then it is reasonably safe to specify the range = 1.2 1.3, as no major api breaking changes should occur within the 1.2 range (ie, 1.2.1 to 1.2.2, etc) 1. http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Package_versioning_policy#Version_numbers On Jul 15, 2011, at 10:56 AM, Anthony Cowley wrote: On Fri, Jul 15, 2011 at 10:48 AM, yi huang yi.codepla...@gmail.com wrote: I'm writing my first haskell package, how do i determine the minimal dependency of it, for example, it use Data.Data, how do i know which version of base package first introduce Data.Data module, i can't find the answer with google.
