The GHC Team is very pleased to announce the first release candidate of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler 8.0.1 release.

Thanks! - I spent a little trying to build/package it for Fedora, but running in the usual problem with changes in the library paths/package keys handling again...

I see that the libraries that come with ghc do not get a package key unlike those built by hand with Cabal (in the hs-libraries field). Hence their filepaths also don't include the key any more. Is this intentional?

I need to update my dependency generation script for the libraries. However I am less sure how to handle/get the keys or hashes of dependencies now: is it better to use the id key than the ABI hash?

Edward, you'd be better able to answer this than me. Cheers, - Ben
