Yes, this is on my TODO, along with a proper ./validate workflow (which
combines binary distribution, installation and testing). I will do my
best to provide a larger feature set in the upcoming weeks.

Hi Richard,
First of all, thank you trying Hadrian and generating several new bug reports.
This is very helpful!
I think it would be very convenient to make a script we can all install (in our
PATH) that will
search for hadrian's build.sh and run it. Then, we can just say `build` (or
whatever we name
the script) anywhere in a tree. Of course, I could just do this locally, but I
doubt I'm the only
one who would enjoy it.
This sounds like a good feature request to me. Could you please add it on Trac,
so it's not lost?
Also, I just had a look at
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/blob/master/hadrian/doc/testsuite.md,
and I don't see a way to run just one directory of the testsuite. I use that
ability currently quite
often (because I know that I've mucked with the typechecker, so I just run the
typecheck tests
before doing full CI). Is this possible?
Yes, this should be possible. I believe Alp is currently working on the
testsuite with the goal of fully matching the functionality provided by the
Make build system. I think this feature is already on his list, but I'm CC-ing
him just in case.
Cheers,
Andrey

Subject: Re: Hadrian questions
Maybe I'm just lazy, but would it be possible to shorten these? Specifically,
could there be a root-level file `build` that triggers Hadrian? That way, I
could just say ./build instead of hadrian/build.sh.
Actually, even that isn't quite right. It is common, for example, for me to be
deep in the testsuite, trying to fix a test. I twiddle something (say, the
output file), and then I want to rerun the test. But now I have to go back out
to the root of my tree to run the test, no? So: I think it would be very
convenient to make a script we can all install (in our PATH) that will search
for hadrian's build.sh and run it. Then, we can just say `build` (or whatever
