#14381: Consider making ghc-pkg fill in abi-depends based on depends -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: thoughtpolice Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 8.2.2 Component: ghc-pkg | Version: 8.2.1 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: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by thoughtpolice): * owner: (none) => thoughtpolice * milestone: => 8.2.2 Comment: This issue is causing us a large amount of pain at work, and we're currently blocked on a major upgrade to GHC 8.2.1 because of it. So I'm going to be taking a look at fixing this later this week (at least "Part 1" and "Part 2" of the above proposal). For our case, we're using Nix to control and keep everything working, including GHC -- so we can limp by with approaches that aren't fully upstream-worthy for now, it's easy enough to apply a temporary patch. (I'll of course see it through until it lands in HEAD, just a fore-warning on immediate time constraints.) Ben, I'm tentatively marking this as slated for 8.2.2, although admittedly I don't know what its current schedule looks like. If it doesn't make it this isn't world-ending for us, but I imagine it would make several people happy anyway. Feel free to push it out if needed. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14381#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
