3. Information about the ghc-network-bsd package on openSuSE Tumbleweed

Information for package ghc-network-bsd:
----------------------------------------
Repository : openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss
Name : ghc-network-bsd
Version : 2.8.1.0-8.4
Arch : x86_64
Vendor : openSUSE
Installed Size : 182.8 KiB
Installed : No
Status : not installed
Source package : ghc-network-bsd-2.8.1.0-8.4.src
Upstream URL : https://hackage.haskell.org/package/network-bsd
Summary : POSIX network database () API
Description :
This package provides Haskell bindings to the the [POSIX network database
(netdb.h)
API](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009696699/basedefs/netdb.h.html).
=== Relationship to the 'network' package
The 'network' package version 2.* series provides "Network.BSD" but it is
removed starting with 'network' version 3.0.
This package provides the "Network.BSD" module split off from the
.
If in addition to the 'network''s modules also "Network.BSD" is necessary, add
'network-bsd' to your dependencies like so:
> library > build-depends: network >= 2.7 && < 3.2 > , network-bsd >= 2.7 && <
2.9
I.e. you can control the version of the 'network' package independently.
__NOTE__: Starting with 'network-bsd-2.8.1.0' the APIs of 'network' and
'network-bsd' evolve differently, and consequently the versioning doesn't match
up anymore! Moreover, also starting with version 'network-bsd-2.8.1.0' this
package requires 'network >= 3' in order to avoid module name clashes with
'network < 3''s "Network.BSD" module.
However, 'network-bsd-2.7.0.0' and 'network-bsd-2.8.0.0' passes thru the
"Network.BSD" module from 'network-2.7.*' and 'network-2.8.*' respectively in a
non-clashing way via Cabal's
reexported-modules> feature while ensuring a well-defined
of the observable API of
'network-bsd'. This is why the example above supporting a wide range of
'network' versions works by including version 2.7.0.0 in the required version
range of 'network-bsd'.
