#10566: Move "package key" generation to GHC -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: ezyang Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Package system | Version: 7.10.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): Sounds good in general terms. But up to now GHC has been primary a module-at-a-time compiler. To compute a package key it needs to know all about a package. Do you intend to do this by giving it a Backpack file describing the package? Or what? And how does Cabal get to know what key GHC computed? More detail required!
