#3912: Gut Build System
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: JohnD | Owner: JohnD
Type: feature request | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: Build System
Version: 6.12.1 | Keywords:
Os: Unknown/Multiple | Testcase:
Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Traditionally, a build system consists of shell scripts and make files. I
want to replace the shell scripts and make files with Haskell source code.
To do this a Haskell function library that provides the same sort of
functionality that shell scripts and make files already provide will be
needed.
Since all Haskell computer programmers are familiar with Haskell I do not
see how the transition would pose a problem provided that Haskell source
code is capable of being competitive with shell scripts. I believe it can
be. The goal is to make the build process fast and robust.
I hope to gut the present build system and replace it with something
entirely new. The change will be global and will effect everyone. What I
intend to do will be innovative. It will be an octopus of sorts in that it
is going to effect everything.
