It also blocks ghc-6.6. If you use ghc-6.6 which doesn't provide the network library you need network-2.0 to get it. With this arrangement packages that need the library can just depend on dev-haskell/network and not care which version it gets. -- Bo Andresen [-- Attachment #2: This is a digitally signed message part. --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 189 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
