Automated tests with newer library versions #4696

Open amigalemming opened 5 years ago

amigalemming commented 5 years ago

Currently, when I import a library that gets an upgrade which is out of the import bounds in one of my packages, I get an e-mail that i need to adapt my package. What about automatically compiling and running tests of my package with new the library version? If the tests succeed, Stackage may even create a pull request with the relaxed import version bounds. This would simplify updating import version bounds a lot.

There are no plans to implement something like this. If someone wants to volunteer to write such code, please be in touch.

We discussed related things a while back: https://www.stackage.org/blog/2018/01/ignore-version-bounds & #3241

I've been thinking about this while on a plane some months ago. Don't know if I ever get the time and the approval to write such tool but I assigned this to me to remember about it in the future
