Hello Jeffrey, Sunday, March 18, 2007, 5:32:21 AM, you wrote:
base isn't compatible between major ghc versions (6.6/6.8). so you may use only base 2.0 with 6.6 or base 3.0 with 6.8.
This seems wrong to me (though I'm quite new at this, so there could be something obvious I'm missing). I understand that ghc-6.6 expects
try to compile base of ghc 6.6 using 6.4 compiler and vice versa. 6.8 is not yet finished, so i guess that differences between base 2.0 and base 3.0 will be much larger that now
So, to solve the immediate problem you're complaining about, it might be more practical to pull the "bottom" (GHC/Prim*.hs) out of base into something like ghc-prim for ghc-6.8 rather than to prevent new modules from being added to the top. Then base can be refactored at a more leisurely pace.
