it's no more future than inclusion of module in Base lib. we can discuss this just now and if GHC HQ will decline such proposal, i will agree that it may be better to include FilePath module in Cabal lib
No, putting FilePath into the Cabal lib is a very bad idea. Then loads of libs/progs will depend on the Cabal lib. As we know, the Cabal library api is not terribly stable.
this looks strange but it is current state-of-the-art: it's better now to put anything into Cabal package rather than Base. why? because both packages are installed with ghc and cabal can be upgraded while base cannot :) well, i'm not serious. actually we need some package that can be upgraded via Cabal itself -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
