Agenda & Notes

New items to discuss

• Template Haskell issue

  • Perhaps related to this reinstallable base doc.
  • Reinstallable base
    • Ongoing work
  • Goal: extend reinstallable-base to template-haskell
    • Needs reinstallable base first
  • Actions: Ben and Simon to polish reinstallable base proposal.
  • Will become HF Tech Track proposal

• c2hs breakage

  • Possibilities:
    • Move away from c2hs (towards hsc2hs)
    • Port c2hs to another parser (e.g. clang)
    • Continue with the status quo, patching things as necessary
    • Hybrids of the above

• ghc-experimental

  • ghc-experimental doesn't seem like a huge benefit for this one specific case, as pointed out in thread.
