Why isn't it possible to reinstall TH (unless you also need to depend on the `ghc` package)? We even explicitly allowed template-haskell to be reinstallable again in Cabal as there didn't seem any reason to forbid it anymore (it's no different than e.g. `bytestring` which is reinstallable as well): https://github.com/haskell/cabal/commit/ffd67e5e630766906e6f4c6655c067a79f739150 Cheers, hvr _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
