Use GHC 7.10 #39

Closed ExternalReality closed 8 years ago

ExternalReality commented 8 years ago

I would enjoy support for GHC 7.10. Doing this would be simple. It would require:

[ ] Fork atto-lisp
[ ] Relax upper-bound on deepseq
[ ] Relax upper-bound on blazebuilder
[ ] Depend on the forked repo.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. I'm actually on GHC 7.10.2 without problems, but perhaps the version in nix is patched. I'll look into that.

knupfer commented 8 years ago

Perhaps it would be better to incorporate atto-lisp into this repo. This would avoid complicating installations via melpa.

@knupfer Using a Git sub-module?

knupfer commented 8 years ago

@ExternalReality I've looked into that, but the simplest solution seems to be, to use something like cabal install --allow-newer=bar --constraint="bar==2.1" in the installation procedure. This would avoid

cluttering the repo
have a sandbox depending on a sandbox

and could be automated in an easy way. What do you think?

this works now even for ghcHEAD
