Reinstallable Base next steps
Hi all, I'm trying to establish consensus around the next stages of the reinstallable base project. It seems to me the next step is to move the `base` package out of the GHC tree into a separate repo so it can be maintained like a normal haskell package. If you have an opinion then please leave your feedback on this email thread. The issue is discussed here: https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/375 and also on discourse https://discourse.haskell.org/t/what-are-the-next-steps-for-reinstallable-ba... Cheers, Matt
It strikes me that separating packages that have a relationship to ghc always seems to introduce a maintenance burden. Even with the core relationships moved to ghc-base, this might be a problem. brandon s allbery kf8nh allbery.b@gmail.com On Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 14:23 Matthew Pickering <matthewtpickering@gmail.com> wrote:
