Hi Andrey,

great to hear that you will find some time for Shaking ghc in the near future and even that you aim to commit first version around April. This is just in a month and half time. Great! I'll see what it will brings us, certainly will test it's paralellization capability and will report.

BTW: I've already tested that, but it looks like it counts with ghc-stage1 compiler being already built so I guess this is just a first step with the idea to shake some ghc library...

Thanks!
Karel

Hi Karel,

One of the main goals of the Shaking up GHC project is getting all the 
dependencies right, which should allow for more parallelism. (Another, and 
perhaps even more important goal is to make the build system 
comprehensible/easier to maintain.)

The project is currently interrupted as I had to return to my university job 
for a period of time, but the aim is to push the first working version to the 
GHC tree around April.

Regards,
Andrey

Is there anything else which may be done to fix that issue? Is someone
already working on some of those? (I mean those reasonable from the
list)?

are you aware of

    https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Shake

and

    https://github.com/snowleopard/shaking-up-ghc
?

I am. Is this agreed way among the GHC developers? I was not sure so I
mentioned shake just lightly...

Thanks,
Karel
