Hi, I'm trying to use Path in Shake oracle rules but shake expects a Binary instance for its Rule type. Has the binary instance been left out on purpose or can this be added?

NorfairKing commented

It's been left out so that there doesn't need to be a dependency on any particular serialisation library.
Which Binary are you talking about?

The one in this. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/shake-0.18.5/docs/Development-Shake-Classes.html

Sorry I guess I assumed this was kid of a stock thing. That's ok don't worry about it.

It's not, but I once made the same assumption. Don't worry about it.
