Hi folks,

I want to give you advance notice that I would like to make Cabal depend on parsec. The implication is that GHC would therefore depend on parsec and thus it would become a core package, rather than just a HP package. So this would affect both GHC and the HP, though I hope not too much.

It's already been pointed out to me that this also implies the following dependencies: text, deepseq, mtl, transformers deepseq is a core package already I think, though ghc doesn't actually depend on it currently. I should also say that I want to make Cabal depend on bytestring and text too. -- Duncan Coutts, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, http://www.well-typed.com/
