Remove 'ghc' from build-depends. #9

Closed jmillikin closed 12 years ago

jmillikin commented 12 years ago

This packages doesn't import any modules from the 'ghc' package. It does import 'GHC.IO.Handle', but that is provided by the 'base' package.

Gentle ping -- this is causing me some trouble, because libraries that import both 'containers' and 'silently' fail to build on versions of GHC that have 'ghc' depend on 'containers':

$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.2.2

$ cabal-dev install containers
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring containers-0.4.2.1...
Preprocessing library containers-0.4.2.1...

$ cabal-dev instal package-that-depends-on-containers-and-silently
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: dependencies conflict: ghc-7.0.4 requires containers ==0.4.2.1 however
containers-0.4.2.1 was excluded because ghc-7.0.4 requires containers
==0.4.0.0

Sorry I didn't get to it sooner, I've been super busy with a side project this week.

Could you please release this new version to Hackage?
