I am trying to make a package work on 0.6 and 0.7.
A warning told me to add “using Printf”
Another warning told me to add this to the dependancies, but I don’t know how.
I just added Printf as dependency, but a) this doesn’t exist on 0.6 and b) I get the following message:
(v0.7) pkg> resolve
Updating registry at `~/.julia/registries/General`
Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git`

ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:
* Printf (de0858da-6303-5e67-8744-51eddeeeb8d7 in manifest but not in project)
Please specify by known `name=uuid`.
Any idea?
If you have a REQUIRE-style package you should not add Printf to dependencies, just add using Printf to your code.
When you have a Project.toml style package you need to have Printf in [deps].

So I should just ignore the following warning?
(v0.7) pkg> precompile

Ok, I am using now:
@static if VERSION >= v"0.7.0-DEV.2005" @eval using Printf end
Now I don’t get any warning any more. Is this a good solution?
So that also works with 0.6?
And do I have to add Compat to the REQUIRES file?
