Hello GHC users, For various reasons i'm trying to package something which is compatible with/equivalent to the Haskell Platform.
I've been looking at the list posted at [0], and it turns out that GHC 7.10.2 doesn't bundle all the packages that are promised. (Or it's a case of PEBKAC and i apologise!) When i do `ghc-pkg list`, the output under ../package.conf.d provided by GHC notably has the following differences with the website list: $ diff website-list <(ghc-pkg list | ..prettify..) 2a3,4 > binary > bin-package-db 10c12,14 < haddock --- > ghc-prim > haskeline > hoopl 12,13c16 < old-locale < old-time --- > integer-gmp 15a19 > rts 16a21 > terminfo What surprises me is the lack of haddock, old-time and old-locale. Is this intentional, or a glitch on the website? I notice that these "missing" libraries are repeated in the `Additional Platform Libraries' and `Programs and Tools' sections. I guess this means that as a GHC packager, i should add these items separately? I guess what i'm saying is that i believe there is a bug in that list [0], but i'm not sure enough that i understand the situation to report it as such :). Sorry about the verbiage, and kind regards, p. 0. <https://www.haskell.org/platform/contents.html> _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
