#8407: Module re-exports at the package level -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: nomeata | Owner: ezyang Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Package system | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: backpack Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by ezyang): SPJ thought of a good way around the implementation problem: we should implement a "mini" module finder in ghc-pkg, which simply takes all of the dependencies listed in the package, and reads their entries in order to resolve a module reexport. We hold the invariant that reexports in the installed package database point to the original name, so once we find the relevant entry, we know the original name. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8407#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
