It= =20 also blocks ghc-6.6. If you use ghc-6.6 which doesn't provide the network=20 library you need network-2.0 to get it. With this arrangement packages that= =20 need the library can just depend on dev-haskell/network and not care which= =20 version it gets. =2D-=20 Bo Andresen --nextPart1982263.jOJCVLINEW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGN2JP8/kKEzmwNNoRAkjMAJ0d1f+bQhjv2UNidtnXw0Pj8Tu0FQCdEvTg uJgfS8LH3RF9H5csvEwyOgc= =yJFi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1982263.jOJCVLINEW-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
