--- Comment #13 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com --- Thanks for following up.

• Why the shared object file provided by the base package is unversioned. I

think there is a bug related to this for all ghc packages, but I can't find it, right ?

Right this is currently how ghc names shared libraries. The filenames are actually "versioned" - it is just that the version comes before the .so extension.

I am happy to open a bug for that against ghc but I hope it need not block this review: it is not something we can fix in this package anyway. But note that ghc does not have the notion of major/minor libraries versions - every version bumps needs rebuilds anyway.

If there is nothing like that, we should probably version this, and move the unversioned one to the -devel package ?

I think it might be better to patch ghc to change how it names .so files: need to think a bit more. Basically it is how ghc has named them since it started supporting shared libraries many releases ago now.

• Why there is no -debuginfo package ? I think the similar reason as above

holds here also for ghc packages ?

ghc-7.10 should introduce support for dwarf debuginfo I think, so I decided to wait with debuginfo until then - I don't think it is useful currently with ghc-7.8.
