for the libraries?
You might have mentioned that there is finally a tracker (*) and an approximate .cabal meta-package (for dependencies only).
- is the programs are not registered by Cabal issue going to be fixed before platform release?
No. Not the right thing for cabal the package system to do.
- haddock currently seems bundled with ghc, for interdependency reasons
They're both in the platform.
- shouldn't there be some compilers in the platform release as well (and possibly a language/library report)?
The platform depends on GHC, and a specific release of the core libraries No, the platform doesn't specify the language. The library report is the haddock documentation however.
- I'd like to see ghc-paths somewhere, too. Registering programs with cabal or having ghc installation info via ghc-paths may look minor, as the packages would be tiny, with meta-information only, but that is surprisingly useful.
The initial is just extralibs + cabal-install We need to work out the ticket creation process first before adding new pieces.
(*) please could the email notifications be switched on for haskell.org-hosted trackers by default (haven't tried this one yet, but notifications are off for haddock's tracker)? Trackers that don't inform anyone of ticket activity are of limited use;-)
Good idea. Personal subscriptions, or to the libraries@ list? -- Don
