Description Coacher 2016-01-11 19:39:55 UTC

Hello.

dev-haskell/process as in https://hackage.haskell.org/package/process will be required for the next release of shellcheck (already in tree), see URL.

Please add.

Apparently it is already shipped with GHC. Haskell packaging is a bit confusing to me. Sorry for the noise.

Don't worry, it's confusing to everyone =)

GHC bundles a bunch of libraries: bytestring, Cabal, deepseq, process, time, transformers, etc. But the versions of those libraries are fixed for a particular release of GHC, so sometimes we need to add newer versions than the ones that are shipped with GHC. In this case we're lucky and everything is happy with the version of process that comes with GHC.
