The platform is a set of blessed libraries and tools. The distros will still need to package that.
To do that for Windows, we're still going to need a windows packaging team, along side Debian, Arch, Gentoo, Mac etc.
Right, so, let me make sure I understand this...
1. We sit down and pick a set of libraries that cover a useful range of subject areas, that are mature and stable, and that work well with each other. This is the "Haskell Platform".
2. For each OS, a team decides how best to deploy this set of libraries on that specific OS.
Is that the plan?
More or less, yes. In practise we expect there to be quite a bit of overlap and communication between the OS teams. Duncan
