ACME package needs tighter base bound #334

Closed treeowl closed 2 years ago

treeowl commented 2 years ago

The ACME package is definitely incompatible with base >= 4.8 due to AMP. I have not checked for the most recent compatible base version, but 4.7 seems a pretty good bet.

I attempted to file a ticket on the listed website, but it is down and was last crawled by the Internet Archive in 2016. The email address at the same domain similarly does not work. A whois lookup suggests domain registration has lapsed. I do not have any other contact info for James Candy.

As the ACME package is part of the acme namespace, and therefore one of the most important jumping-off points for Haskell programming, it is critical to fix this problem immediately, or sooner using the tardis.

I could build ACME-0.0.0.0/1 with GHC 7.8 but not with 7.10. So @treeowl's bet seems correct. Revised both versions:

Thanks, @andreasabel! 🧨🧨🧨
