socket needs bytestring constraint relaxed to work with GHC 9.2 #338

Closed sternenseemann closed 2 years ago

sternenseemann commented 2 years ago

This change was proposed to upstream three months ago, but it has been unresponsive (actually a while longer, as you can gather from the open pull requests). The package works fine with bytestring 0.11 which is bundled with GHC 9.2.

A package of mine depends on it (spacecookie) and is not possible to be built using GHC 9.2 (dropping out of stackage nightly as a result). I'll may want to migrate to network, but relaxing the constraint gives me more time to consider this change.

Edit: see also https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stackage/issues/6486.

Thanks, that works as expected!
