Comment (by Herbert Valerio Riedel <hvr@…>):

 In [changeset:5e2f145a3737b8ff81445ffbe3dd72d8985d608e/ghc]:

 #!CommitTicketReference repository="ghc"
 revision="5e2f145a3737b8ff81445ffbe3dd72d8985d608e"
 Update `primitive` and `vector` packages

  - `primitive` is updated to upstream's HEAD which is essentially
    `primitive-0.5.1.0`, plus a core-lint-error workaround for #8355 and
    some minor cleanups.

  - `vector` is updated to upstreams `vector-0.10.9.1` release

 Note: The upstream repo location has changed to GitHub,
       hence the update in the `packages` file
