Depends on 3 packages(full list with versions):

base, basement, ghc-prim

Used by 2 packages in lts-18.28(full list with versions):

hexml-lens, hoogle

A custom prelude with no dependencies apart from base.

This package has the following goals:

provide a base like sets of modules that provide a consistent set of features and bugfixes across multiple versions of GHC (unlike base).
provide a better and more efficient prelude than base's prelude.
be self-sufficient: no external dependencies apart from base.
provide better data-types: packed unicode string by default, arrays.
Better numerical classes that better represent mathematical thing (No more all-in-one Num).
Better I/O system with less Lazy IO
Usual partial functions distinguished through type system
