I believe that when Cabal is building a package with GHC, all packages are hidden except those listed in build-depends. (And since the plan is to obsolete haskell98, it would be a good idea to mark those packages that need it.) > > Also, fps is incorporated into base these days. > > Except that nhc98 doesn't build those modules in base, and ships with > fps instead. AFAIK, fps is soon to be split out of base again anyway. I suspect this will break building with GHC, as the same modules will be available from multiple selected packages. It will also mess up repackagers, if they try to generate native dependencies from the dependencies in the .cabal file. It would be so much simpler if nhc98 could do the same thing. _______________________________________________ Cvs-libraries mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-libraries
