GHCi now uses Haskeline (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskeline), a readline-clone written in Haskell. readline was initially replaced by libedit for licensing reasons, but libedit had a number of problems prompting the switch to Haskeline.
Debian/Ubuntu could decide unilaterally to use readline instead; I believe the Gentoo folks are doing (or planning to do) this. I personally don't feel strongly - Haskeline is working well enough for me. -- ghc6 should depend on readline/libedit in Karmic? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/416477 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
