Proposal

tl;dr Rename some artifacts

e.g. mini-hlint to ghc-lib-test-mini-hlint

Details

The ghc-lib project produces a bunch of packages. Each package is described a distinct .cabal file:

  • ghc-lib-gen
  • ghc-lib-parser
  • ghc-lib
  • test-utils
  • mini-hlint
  • mini-compile

The proposal is to rename the last three targets as per the following table.

before after
test-utils ghc-lib-test-utils
mini-hlint ghc-lib-test-mini-hlint
mini-compile ghc-lib-test-mini-compile

The motivation is to make these targets more readily identifiable as ghc-lib project artifacts. This makes reading build logs of the hlint stack easier.

After the renamings, the package list will read:

  • ghc-lib-gen
  • ghc-lib-parser
  • ghc-lib
  • ghc-lib-test-utils
  • ghc-lib-test-mini-hlint
  • ghc-lib-test-mini-compile

Makes sense to me. Thanks!
