#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): There are many wiki pages about the package system, but the [wiki:Commentary/Packages/Concepts] is bang up to date, and describes version hashes with much more precision; so in reading Edward's comments above, read that page too.
sometimes, GHC needs to know what the package name of the package currently being built is to give a good error message
Examples? Even a list of all the examples. There are probably not many. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10566#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
