As it's in ghc-proposals, we have to wait what it says before merging this? |
|
Well, Cabal is not within the ghc-proposals mandate, and even if it were, there is currently no timeline the process becomes "official". So yes I would like to get commentary, but I also think we can informally decide when it's good enough to go in. |
|
As we added it there, let's wait ~2 weeks (the usual discussion time on proposals in e.g. libraries), otherwise it will look like "look we decided to do this way, now it's already done". I like the idea of proposal, but as you posted it there, I'd give people opportunity to comment on it. Sorry that it will delay this PR. |

Two weeks is fine. I am well used to the rebased branches on top of rebased branches workflow for extended periods of time ;) |

Described in: ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals#4 ./Setup configure now takes an argument to specify a specific component name that should solely be configured. Most of the gyrations in Configure are all about making it so that we can feed in internal dependencies via --dependency. I dropped the package name match sanity check to handle convenience library package name munging. I also had to make register/copy unconditionally install internal libraries; otherwise you can't refer to them from later builds. Also a miscellaneous refactor: convenience libraries are printed with a "header" stanza now (not really a stanza header). Signed-off-by: Edward Z. Yang <ezyang@cs.stanford.edu>

Since this commit is rolled up in #3662 I'm going to close this; review that PR instead. |
