Hello James, all, On 2015-10-11 at 22:23, quoth James David Trotter: > +(define-public ghc-transformers > + (package > + (name "ghc-transformers") > + (version "0.4.3.0")
Now that there are patches ready to provide the latest Haskell Platform (version 7.10.2a as listed on [0]), i propose we refrain from packaging things which GHC already provides. Notably, providing a newer version generally causes warnings (and occasional build failures depending on which package we're talking about — Idris was one of those) that GHC requires (e.g., as in this case) "transformers-0.4.2.0" but some other dependency requires "transformers-0.4.3.0". Therefore, we should only package cabal items *not* on the `Core Libraries' list at [0]. WDYT? Kind regards, p. 0. <https://www.haskell.org/platform/contents.html>
