Hi, IIRC those packages can be "reinstalled", just build & register into a fresh package database and add it to the pkgdb stack, ghc can shadow the ones in the global pkgdb. Regards, Shao Cheng On Tue, Aug 7, 2018 at 10:39 AM, Moritz Angermann wrote: > Dear friends, > > we have a set of

Hi, I'd like to test some GHC builds + some compile and runtime flag combinations against a large set of packages by building them and running test suites. For this I need - A set of packages that are known to work with latest GHC - A way to build them and run their test suites (if I could
