Indeed. But each bisect takes quite a while. So my attention switches and it takes a while to get back. I was hoping some machine might do it for me.
Herbert suggested some commits to revert. I’ll try that first From: Johan Tibell [mailto:johan.tib...@gmail.com] Sent: 01 December 2014 09:45 To: Herbert Valerio Riedel Cc: ghc-devs@haskell.org; Simon Marlow; Simon Peyton Jones Subject: Re: Windows build broken again: urgent In general I think a good course of action when this happens is: * Use git bisect to find the offending commit. This works now because we moved to submodules. * Revert the commit. * Push the patch to master and notify the author. This style of early rollback will become more important as we grow as it puts the onus on fixing on the right person and minimizes negative impact on other developers.
