Relax dependencies bounds on evdev-streamly to support GHC 9.6 #36
Description
Hello! I noticed that this project does not compile on GHC versions newer than GHC 9.4 . This is what happens with 9.6.5:
$ cabal build --minimize-conflict-set evdev

After searching the rest of the dependency tree exhaustively, these were the
goals I've had most trouble fulfilling: base, streamly, evdev-streamly,
streamly-core
But simply allowing a newer version of streamly seems to fix the issue:
$ cabal build --allow-newer="evdev-streamly:evdev" evdev

Build profile: -w ghc-9.6.5 -O1
In order, the following will be built (use -v for more details):
- evdev-2.3.1.1 (lib) (first run)
Configuring library for evdev-2.3.1.1..
Preprocessing library for evdev-2.3.1.1..
Building library for evdev-2.3.1.1..
In this case, cabal could compile it fine with streamly-0.10.1. Could we bump this dependency to support GHC 9.6? I ran the evdev:test suite without issues and evtest also seems to work after the update.

I also tried to compile the project on GHC 9.8, but in that case I found that
streamly-fsnotifyis incompatible with the version of base in that GHC version, so some changes in the codebase are necessary.georgefst commentedon Aug 15, 2024
OK, I've bumped most dependencies and released.
I'll try to release a new version at some point soon which uses new-style Streamly streams and thus removes the deprecation warnings. This will involve an update to the latest version of
streamly-fsnotifyand since I'll be making breaking changes anyway I may do it alongside #37.Are you sure? I can't reproduce this part.

I'm not so sure anymore, I remember asking
cabal-installto come up with a build plan for GHC 9.8 and failing because ofstreamly-fsnotify. I thought it was because the library did not support that version of GHC (more specifically, the version ofbasethat came with it) but I did not spend much time looking into it.
