esqueleto.cabal: Bump upper dependency limit for base #135

Open erikd opened 8 years ago

erikd commented 8 years ago

Ghc 8.0 ships with base 4.9.

erikd commented 8 years ago

This fix is necessary for ghc-8.0 support, but not sufficient to make it compile against the current git HEAD of persistent which has some siginificant changes to data types since the last release.

For yesod-persistent @snoyberg has decided to use CPP to make it work with both persistent < 2.5 and persistent == 2.5. For example https://github.com/yesodweb/yesod/commit/d99de615547d0dd8bbc6f766b1749024403379a4 .

I'm happy to do the fixes, but I'd like you to make the decision on whether you to use CPP to support a similar range of persistent versions to yesod-persistent or whether you just want to support persistent == 2.5.
