"sh darcs-all get" in a darcs repo. The core packages are:
base, haskell98, template-haskell, readline, stm, Cabal, unix, Win32
Should mtl not also be included here too as it is a relatively small package but seems fundamental to monadic programming which is one of the major highlights of Haskell?
Ie doesn't almost everyone use at least one of the mtl transformers in their code?
the idea is not "what we all use", but "what a required to build ghc itself, or closely depend on ghc version". i instead may propose to remove unix/win32 here - i guess that these packages are rather independent on GHC version
Ok I see now, that the whole point is to avoid having to download everything every time the ghc version changes, so I withdraw my suggestion about including mtl in the core :-) Brian. -- Logic empowers us and Love gives us purpose.
