According to the packages currently present in Darcs Stable (Stretch) we
can safely require GHC 8 and the package versions that correpond to
haskell-platform 8.0.1 [1].

I haven't bumped the lower bounds of all possible packages, only the
ones that actually provoked some #ifdef in darcs' source code.

Then I removed more now useless #ifdef's, which saves us a few LOCs, and
cleaned unused CPP languages pragmas in many modules.

The last two patches suppress warnings in cabal/ghc and redundant class
constraints in the tests harness.

I agree with most of the changes here, except to require ghc-8. I would
like us to postpone this until we have a good reason to do so, such as a
package upgrade that depends on it or a significant number of CPP
conditionals that would be obviated by this move. Currently, of the patch

* remove outdated CPP conditionals on GHC version

only one hunk is concerned with ghc 8 and if I roll this one back
together with 

  * require GHC 8

then I can compile with ghc-7.10.3 just fine; except I get this strange
message from cabal new-build after it has linked everything:

about to hand over
setup: Error: Could not find module: Version with any suffix:
["gc","chs","hsc","x","y","ly","cpphs","hs","lhs"]

Great. I upgraded to ghc-8.2.2 and now I can no longer compile darcs.
This is what I get:

Since a few patches, darcs requires ghc-8, so I upgraded to 8.2.2 and
now when I try to build it fails with ghc: out of memory. I have ubuntu
16 LTS and use the cabal-head from the ppa.

ghc: out of memory
cabal: Failed to build Cabal-1.24.2.0 (which is required by
darcs-2.13.0). The
build process terminated with exit code 251

Never mind the second paragraph. It works with neither cabal-head nor
cabal-2.0.
msg19872 (view) Author: bfrk Date: 2018-02-10.16:34:30
Turns out I had set a ulimit -v to 2.2GB. Setting it to unlimited lets
me proceed, for now. Is still very slow. ghc-7.10.3 had no problem with
the limit.
