ones for modules whose family instances we need to compare!

Provide the pkgroot value in ghc-pkg dump & describe when necessary

Tools handling installed packages need to be able to interpret the
paths which are relative to the ${pkgroot} which means they need to
know the value of ${pkgroot}. With ghc-pkg this is not always obvious
since ghc-pkg does not currently have any way machine interface for
reporting the location of its package dbs (global, user). The solution
we have arrived at is simply to emit the pkgroot as an extra field
when it is needed.

There are two cases:
 * --no-expand-pkgroot: ghc-pkg dump/describe will not expand the
   ${pkgroot} var, so it will appear literally in the output and the
   pkgroot field will be generated so that tools know what value to
   use for the ${pkgroot}.
 * --expand-pkgroot: ghc-pkg dump/describe will expand the ${pkgroot}
   and ${pkgrooturl} vars and will not generate the pkgroot field.

The defaults are:
 * ghc-pkg dump/describe --no-expand-pkgroot
 * ghc-pkg field --expand-pkgroot

12 years agoImplement ${pkgroot} spec, allows relocatable registered packages
Duncan Coutts [Mon, 23 May 2011 21:10:45 +0000 (22:10 +0100)]
Implement ${pkgroot} spec, allows relocatable registered packages

Historically ghc implemented relocatable packages by allowing
"$topdir" in the package registration info and having ghc expand
this with its notion of $topdir. The topdir refers to where ghc
itself is installed (specifically the libdir).

The ${pkgroot} spec takes this idea and makes it portable.
(http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2009-May/011772.html)
Instead of paths relative to where ghc is installed, they can be
relative to the package database itself. Thus it is no longer a
ghc-specific idea and can work for package collections other than
the global package db.

it will not be needed in future.

For shell-based build systems the feature is still available as:

Historically, ghc-pkg allowed environment variables to appear in the
