| 2026-03-05 00:20:28 +0100 | <geekosaur> | if you want to be really pedantic you can check impl(ghc < 9.10) and set `buildable: False` so installers with too old compilers get better error messages |

| 2026-03-05 00:15:56 +0100 | <geekosaur> | you can document what ghc versions are accepted (see `compiler:`) and that will be displayed on the package page |
| 2026-03-05 00:15:18 +0100 | <geekosaur> | you can build locally and upload documentation, hackage has instructions |
| 2026-03-05 00:14:58 +0100 | <geekosaur> | only if you care about its build report |
| 2026-03-05 00:14:22 +0100 | <gentauro> | so I need to aim at the ghc version installed on Hackage? |
| 2026-03-05 00:14:08 +0100 | <gentauro> | geekosaur: hmmmm |
| 2026-03-05 00:13:35 +0100 | <geekosaur> | or libraries |
| 2026-03-05 00:13:29 +0100 | <geekosaur> | you have even less control over that: hackage will not install additional compilers on demand to support individual packages |

| 2026-03-05 00:12:45 +0100 | <gentauro> | that's not very nice :-\ |
| 2026-03-05 00:12:38 +0100 | <gentauro> | so I'm building a package that works for 9.10.3, but since hackage builds with 9.8.4 it breaks |
| 2026-03-05 00:12:01 +0100 | <geekosaur> | also, that resolver might not do what you intend: it installs only ghc bootlibs. you almost always want a full LTS or nightly version instead |
| 2026-03-05 00:12:01 +0100 | <gentauro> | geekosaur: oh snap |
| 2026-03-05 00:11:17 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (stack, via snapshot/resolver, can control this, but it's because that installs ghc and specific versions of packages) |

| 2026-03-05 00:10:27 +0100 | <geekosaur> | cabal.project can control it |
| 2026-03-05 00:10:19 +0100 | <geekosaur> | you don't, since you can't force someone installing from e.g. hackage to install particular ghc versions |

| 2026-03-05 00:06:13 +0100 | <gentauro> | How do you specify in a .cabal file a specific GHC version to build. This is from a Haskell Stack yaml file: `resolver: ghc-7.10.2`. |

| 2026-03-05 00:04:30 +0100 | <newmind> | its also nice while you're still figuring out the interface/structure, since you're less likely to settle with something that's not quite right |
| 2026-03-05 00:03:39 +0100 | <fgarcia> | with the language, that is one thing i like. maintaining something long term has been nice. |
| 2026-03-05 00:00:13 +0100 | <newmind> | i have to say, big refactoring is actually quite fun in haskell... it's a joy when you're actually brave enough to do bigger structural changes and still not completely break your code |
