Re: Integrating editline with ghc

The extended packages "2" could go under extra libs or hackageDB, while "1" remains a boot package for ghc that can link to editline on macs and readline under linux, but has the same interface and package name!

I would hope that ghc will link to editline-ext on all platforms. That gives ghc the functionality it needs without getting into legal trouble with the license. Then those who want the full readline interface can install readline-ext, and those who want the full editline interface can install editline. -Yitz
