Subject: mailbox-count.cabal: depend on semigroups conditionally.
X-Git-Tag: 0.0.4~2
X-Git-Url: http://gitweb.michael.orlitzky.com/?p=mailbox-count.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=df12e0ac36aefae2ee28a92ed06ca8b9648b54a4

mailbox-count.cabal: depend on semigroups conditionally.

Just kidding, when the semigroups package promises "a backwards-
compatible API," what they mean is that they deleted the entire source
tree in the minor release 0.18.2 and nothing works at all. So instead,
we need to do a version check on GHC within the cabal file, and
conditionally depend on a version of semigroups before 0.18.2.
