Dependency version bounds are a lie

[nomeata]

I am now using a rather nice CI setup with cabal-plan-bounds for a library of mine, and documented it at length here:

Don’t edit dependency bounds manually, with this CI setup

Over at Dependency version bounds are a lie I argued that manually maintained dependency bounds are both annoyingly tediuos and also regularly wrong, at least in the sense that they are not actually tested by CI. From the ensuing discussion I can conclude that the dependency bounds in your .cabal file should never be written manually (yay!), and instead should always be derived from what you are actually doing on CI. The last point made me write a new tool, cabal-plan-bounds, that takes mul…

Maybe it inspires other to use the same.

I wish developers would not have to write long workflow files to get a convenient setup like this, but it’s a start.
