#15726: Don't include Haskeline (and others) in the global package DB -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: judah | Owner: (none) Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 8.6.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- GHC installations include `haskeline` in their global DB, as well as its dependencies (currently: `stm` and `terminfo`). However, Haskeline isn't a dependency of the `ghc` library, so that shouldn't be necessary. Originally suggested by hvr here, in response to needing to pull `stm` into the global DB: https://github.com/judah/haskeline/pull/61#issuecomment-294878302 This change would let Haskeline add dependencies more easily. See in particular the pending PR to depend on the "exceptions" package: https://github.com/judah/haskeline/pull/97 -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15726 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
