Hi
What is the process for the inclusion of modules / packages in ghc, hugs and other compilers & interpreters?
Propose to have the packaged added. There is a very low chance of this being accepted. The only packages to have recently been added were FilePath and ByteString, both of which were obvious deficiencies in the libraries. I'm now not aware of any hole that is likely to get plugged by bundling an additional library.
Should something experimental be a base package? And shouldn't all modules that are base packages declare their status?
No, they should all be reasonably stable. Things that are unstable are likely to move out of the standard libraries and just become hackage packages.
Perhaps these are questions for the libraries mailing list but I thought I'd start here.
Now there is a question I can't answer - I have no idea what should go down the libraries list and what should go down the haskell-cafe list. Perhaps someone could put up a guide of "if your question/comment is like this, send it on this list" Thanks Neil
