Hi,

is anyone ysubg euther *only* the ghc package or *only* the ghc-doc
package but nothing else related to ghc?

If not, I'd like to merge ghc-main and ghc-doc into a single ghc
package.

Any hs-port already depends on both ghc-main and ghc-doc so it
wouldn't hurt anyone installing hs-ports.

The disk space used by ghc-main is about 886 MB, the space used by
ghc-doc is about 46 MB (according to pkg_info -s), so only people
with ghc-doc installed but ghc-main not installed would be hur for
real.

In addition a fresh pkg_add ghc will spill out lots of warnings if
ghc-doc isn't installed. To stop this, ghc-main would have to
run-depend on ghc-doc.

So I really don't see the point of keeping ghc-main and ghc-doc in
separate packages.

If there are no complaints, I'll merge both packages in a few days
(there's a mini update of ghc pending with just some documentation
changes).

Ciao,
        Kili
