Exclude package files from ghc
I am concerned about /usr/lib/ghc-<version>/package.conf.d/*.conf
files.
- Some of them are owned by
ghc-lib
(cf.pacman -Qo /usr/lib/ghc-8.10.4/package.conf.d
). It is the only package that owns that directory (cf.pacman -F /usr/lib/ghc-8.10.4/package.conf.d/
). Very well. - Some of them are reported by lostfiles (e.g.,
/usr/lib/ghc-8.10.4/package.conf.d/base-compat-0.11.2-JggHr2fdYLe83DSFk1MYK3.conf
). - Nothing is mentioned about these files in the Haskell package guidelines page of Arch Linux wiki.
What is the status of these untracked files?
- they should be tracked by pacman/packages (I'm not sure if it is possible, I do not know Haskell well).
- they should be ignored by lostfiles.
Not sure of which solution is recommended. I suppose one of them is desirable; I think they are mutually exclusive.
#34 historically ignored them, but I cannot find trace of that in current version of lostfiles.
