#10714: After implementing new installed package ID (hash of sdist), get rid of package keys -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: ezyang Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Package | Version: 7.10.2 system | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- GHC tracking bug for https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/2745 Externally, GHC's flags do not have to change much; a user simply passes the installed package ID to the flag currently named `-this-package-key` (but perhaps we should rename this.) Internally, if we can assume that `PackageKey == InstalledPackageId`, we can do away with the `InstalledPackageId` map and get rid of the level of indirection between the bin-pkg-db (which records installed package IDs`) and GHC's guts (which record package keys). Blocked on Cabal not actually using ABI hashes to identify packages. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10714 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
