`copilot`: Extend range of versions `optparse-applicative`

[ivanperez-keera]

Description

optparse-applicative has seen a new release 0.18.1.0, but copilot needs versions strictly lower than 1.8. This could prevent copilot from being installed in certain systems or with certain LTSs.

Type

• Management: update versions of dependencies.

Additional context

None.

Requester

• Ivan Perez

Method to check presence of bug

Not applicable (not a bug).

Expected result

Copilot can be installed with optparse-applicative>=0.18.

Desired result

Copilot can be installed with optparse-applicative>=0.18.

Proposed solution

Modify copilot's cabal file to accept optparse-applicative versions >= 0.18 and <0.19.

Adjust copilot as needed to work with that version of optparse-applicative.

Further notes

None.
