To resolve the deadlock around System.FilePath, I propose that Neil be allowed to submit it to base (so that it's definitely in a logical package for ghc-6.8 even if the rest of the refactoring doesn't happen), and then Bulat and anyone else who wants to use it before then should release base-2.1 with System.FilePath backported.
Does that sound reasonable?
it it hardly a solution. supporting one more branch of Base would be a nightmare. FilePath already exists as separate package so i guess that if it will be included in Base 3.0, we will got the same situation as with fps in 6.4/6.6 - separate package should be imported in 6.4 version, but not in 6.6 -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
