Package Flags
bootstrap
(off by default)
Enabled when building the stage1 compiler in order to vendor the in-tree `template-haskell` library (including its dependency `ghc-boot-th`), while allowing dependencies to depend on the boot `template-haskell` library. See Note [Bootstrapping Template Haskell]
This library is shared between GHC, ghc-pkg, and other boot
libraries.
.
A note about GHC.Unit.Database: it only deals with the subset of
the package database that the compiler cares about: modules
paths etc and not package metadata like description, authors
etc. It is thus not a library interface to ghc-pkg and is *not*
suitable for modifying GHC package databases.
.
The package database format and this library are constructed in
such a way that while ghc-pkg depends on Cabal, the GHC library
and program do not have to depend on Cabal.
