linear-base-0.1.0 build failure with GHC 9.8 about linear-base HOT 7 CLOSED

I've just released v0.4.0 https://hackage.haskell.org/package/linear-base-0.4.0

(the documentation should be built by the bot pretty soon)

Thanks again both. I still need to add GHC 9.8 to the CI. I'll wait a couple of weeks for that.

Since no published version builds with GHC 9.8 (the other versions restrict template-haskell), I suppose linear-base-0.1.0 was not intended to build with future GHCs, so I restricted base < 4.19, see revision 1: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/linear-base-0.1.0/revisions/

from linear-base.

Yes, there's a backwards incompatible typechecker change in 9.8. I've addressed that in #457 but it needs a new release of linear-base. cc @aspiwack

The base < 4.19 restriction should also apply to other versions right now on hackage: 0.2.0, 0.3.0, 0.3.1.

The base < 4.19 restriction should also apply to other versions right now on hackage: 0.2.0, 0.3.0, 0.3.1.

I didn't do this because they are blocked by a template-haskell constraint already:

trying: linear-base-0.3.1 (user goal)
[__1] trying: linear-generics-0.2.2 (dependency of linear-base)
[__2] next goal: template-haskell (dependency of linear-generics)
[__2] rejecting: template-haskell-2.21.0.0/installed-be6e (conflict: linear-generics => template-haskell>=2.16 && <2.21)

But maybe it would be cleaner.

Done:

Thanks @andreasabel and @monoidal ! I thought I had released #457 . My bad. I'll make a release on Friday (tomorrow).

Build is still blocked on the dependency:
