But if we assume that unregister.sh files can contain only "ghc-pkg unregister" calls then there is no need to even call them. The new ghc will come with a new/pristine package.conf. Still I would like if you could save off a copy of the pristine package.conf when installing ghc. Then I could check in robust way what I installed on top of clean ghc. A postinstall step like "cd /usr/lib/ghc-<ver>; cp package.conf package.conf.asInstalled".
Yes, that's what I've wondered about too, actually. I like your suggestion. And we can use pacman's configuration file handling instead of rolling our own. 6.10.2-2 postponed then a bit more :) I hope I can get this out soon, because I'll be on vacation until the 19th, and away from my x86_64 box. --vk
