Name: cabal-nirvana
Version: 0.2
Synopsis: Avoid Cabal dependency hell by constraining to known good versions.
Description: This tool takes a list of known compatible versions of libraries and forces them to be used. This should bypass a lot of cabal dependency hell, thereby inducing nirvana.
.
Originally, the idea was to use constraints in the Cabal config file to force this, but unfortunately there's a bug in cabal-install which prevents that from being possible. Instead, this tool now filters the list of available packages available.
.
The simplest usage is to just run cabal-nirvana. This will perform a few steps:
.
1. Perform a cabal update
.
2. Download the most recent version of the blessed package list.
.
3. Modify the list of packages downloaded in the cabal update by the list of blessed packages.
.
If you want to leave Nirvana, just perform a normal cabal update.
