The recent release of ghc 7.10.2 reminded me of something I meant to ask about a long time ago. Most of the binaries ghc installs are versioned (x linked to x-7.10.2), with some exceptions (hpc and hsc2hs). Shouldn't they all be versioned? Also, 'haddock' is inconsistent with all the rest, in that it's haddock linked to haddock-ghc-7.10.2.
I've long used a few shell scripts (recently upgraded to python) to manage ghc installs. A 'set' which creates symlinks to make a particular version current, and an 'rm' to remove all traces of a version. But due to the inconsistency, I have to remember to run "fix" first, which moves the unversioned binaries to versioned names. As an aside, I have three scripts I use all the time: set version, remove version, and remove library. Come to think of it, shouldn't ghc include this, instead of everyone creating their own shell scripts by hand? _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
