I've assumed that any package with all its library-dirs inside /usr/lib/ghc-6.8.3 (actually, the libdir from GHC.Paths) is a core package. This seems to exclude all the external packages, which get installed to /usr/lib/$PkgName-$PkgVer/. Anybody know if this is a bad assumption?
I went to #ghc to confirm this. It sounds safe. One possibility is for vegai to modify the GHC PKGBUILD to copy the package.conf to package.conf.shipped at packaging. Then cabal2arch could query this for an *authoritative* list of packages in bootlibs. The other possibility is to load the bootlibs into the provides array of the PKGBUILD. I don't think this would be very easily done with makepkg... hmakepkg time? :) Cheers, Matt.
