Update ghci and hpc on Hackage
Motivation
ghci
and hpc
is outdated on Hackage, latest versions for them are:
-
ghci
:8.10.2
-
hpc
:0.6.0.3
The problem occurs if your project depends on (either directly or indirectly) ghc
, which in turn depends on ghci
and hpc
. As ghci
and hpc
doesn't have their latest source code on Hackage, this means the packages used by ghci
or hpc
can not be upgraded. Take filepath-1.4.100.0
as an example. Even though it supports GHC 9.2.3, it can not be used in a project that requires the library ghc
. This makes migration to OsPath
unnecessarily harder, and this applies for all future changes made to filepath
, directory
, containers
, bytestring
, etc.
Proposal
Just make all core libraries up to date on Hackage.
