wrong git tag for random-source 0.3.0.11 #84

Closed teto closed 2 years ago

teto commented 2 years ago

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/random-source shows an upper-bound of < 4.16 for release 0.3.0.11 while the rs-0.3.0.11 tag on github shows < 5 see https://github.com/haskell-numerics/random-fu/blob/42c72183a65c429230ad9d006534f59a6b72a329/random-source/random-source.cabal#L69

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/random-source-0.3.0.11/revisions/ - I don't know why this was done - but random-source is now no longer needed for random-fu and I am going to offer maintainership to anyone who would like to take it on on the libraries mailing list. If no-one takes up the offer I will mark it as deprecated.

are you bodigrim or did someone else just changed the package ?! I had no idea one could do that sry ^^'' I was updating one project that relies on random-source apparently. Am I able to ditch it and use random-fu instead (I am an indirect user of the library so not rally familiar yet) ?

I am not bodigrim - there is a "feature" on hackage that allows authorised folks to change e.g. bounds on packages without having to get the library maintainer to make a release.

You might have to modify your code to use the latest version of random-fu (which is faster BTW). Let me know if I can help.
