Re: Proposal: deepseq should not depend on containers

Why do you propose this for the container package only? Don't the same arguments apply to the array-package, too? C. Am 28.12.2010 19:03, schrieb Johan Tibell:

Ticket:

http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4868

Copy of proposal:

The deepseq package depends on the containers package. This forces all packages that want to depend on deepseq in order to provide a NFData instance for exported types, to also depend on containers.

Proposal, have containers depend on deepseq, not the other way around, and define the NFData instances for the types in the containers package, in the containers package.

Discussion deadline: 2 weeks.
