There is a package in Hackage called Data.Fixed.Binary that I am interested in. The problem I have is that it appears not to work with recent releases of base. I would like to know if there is a reason against having a this package. Did I miss a different way to work with fixed point binary values in Haskell?

    You can edit the `base` version in the cabal file and install it yourself. – Sibi Jul 28 '15 at 12:53

    Or try the `--allow-newer=base` option. – Ørjan Johansen Jul 28 '15 at 16:38
  • If you are going to follow Sibi's suggestion, you can conveniently get the sources from Hackage with `cabal unpack`. – duplode Jul 28 '15 at 17:07
  • Sibi. Its not just a case of a cabal constraint. The code, which I downloaded off the hackage page https://hackage.haskell.org/package/fixed-point-0.5.0.1 does not type check in ghci. Thanks for the hint though. – Dyson Wilkes Jul 29 '15 at 09:28
