#15726: Don't include Haskeline (and others) in the global package DB -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: judah | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 8.6.1 (make) | Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): I have emailed Judah about this. Hopefully he'll be able to cut another minor release without the `exceptions` dependency for 8.8. Then I suppose we'll need to figure out how to make progress on this ticket for 8.10.
Are you sure the original issue why we started properly registering GHCi's dependencies around GHC 7.8 has been dealt with? Otherwise this will just throw us back to square one with the bugs/issues we had pre-7.8.
Not at all; can you refresh our memories on what those issues were? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15726#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
