Hello,
The release note of GHC 7.0.2 says:
---- 1.5.6.3. bin-package-db
This is an internal package, and should not be used. ----
What is the intention of this change?
The author of "cabal-delete" hesitates to register "cabal-delete" into HackageDB due to this words.
Shouldn't a package-maintenance command even use this package? If so, what package should be used?
This package is used internally by ghc-pkg and ghc to read and write the binary package database cache, it shouldn't be necessary for anyone else to use it - just invoke ghc-pkg to do any operations on the database. Cheers, Simon
