I just noticed that the "extra libraries", libraries which darcs-all
adds when given the --extra flag, are missing in the current release
source tree darcs.haskell.org/ghc-7.0.
Of course I can (and did) simply pull what I want from the respective
upstream repos given on hackage, but it would be handy to have a copy
inside ghc-7.0/packages. Could they please be mirrored inside the
ghc-7.0 source tree in order to make darcs-all work as usual?
Can you use HEAD instead? These libraries aren't shipped with GHC, so we
don't really want to branch them.
Of course I can (see above). Just wanted to ask, it could have been a
simple oversight that they have not been copied.
However, it would be nice to have darcs-all work for the branch just as
expected (including --extra).
And actually, for the record:
I edited file ghc/packages, prefixing all "extra" entries with "../",
and it does work :) Like this (whitespace edited for mail layout):
-libraries/deepseq extra packages/deepseq darcs -
-libraries/parallel extra packages/parallel darcs -
-libraries/stm extra packages/stm darcs -
+libraries/deepseq extra ../packages/deepseq darcs -
+libraries/parallel extra ../packages/parallel darcs -
+libraries/stm extra ../packages/stm darcs -
Not sure if this should become a patch, though, since it assumes a
particular directory relation between ghc-7.0 and the head.
We are/I am probably going to mirror the ghc-7.0 branch for extensions,
and the patch will not work in this mirror, for one.
Thanks,
Jost
