The following libraries are bundled with GHC 7.8.* and are
visible in ghc-pkg list, but are omitted from the list of packages
provided by Haskell Platform:
bin-package-db-0.0.0.0
binary-0.7.1.0
ghc-7.8.2
ghc-prim-0.3.1.0
hoopl-3.10.0.1
integer-gmp-0.5.1.0
rts-1.0
There are three more libraries that are bundled with GHC
but hidden by default. These might become exposed in
GHC 7.8.3:
haskeline, terminfo, xhtml
See this Trac ticket for more details:
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8919
xhtml is already part of the platform, so it would only
need to be moved from the list of platform packages to the
list of GHC bundled packages. But we would need to
make sure that the version matches the one provided by
GHC, and that this version works with any other platform
packages that are dependencies or reverse dependencies.
Thanks,
Yitz
