Description
It's clearly not the PVP, so it ought to be documented somewhere for the sake of future contributors and maintainers.
The documentation should include answers for the following questions:
- Motivation for deviating from the PVP, and tradeoffs
- Specification: lower bounds, upper bounds, and version bumps, for all the categories of packages.
There are 3 categories imho:- core packages
- plugin packages
- the HLS package
- Examples of releases that involve interactions with Hackage:
- Major release
- Bug fix release for core packages
- Bug fix release for plugin packages
- Bug fix release for HLS
