#7017: Rethink need for tarballs under friendly environment -+-- Reporter: FUZxxl| Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Build System | Version: 7.4.2 Keywords:| Os: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: Other Difficulty: Unknown |Testcase: Blockedby:|Blocking: Related:| -+-- Comment(by simonmar): I vote for two source tarballs. Furthermore, I vote for putting the mingw64 tarball in a separate repo, that you only have to get on Windows (sync-all can manage to do this, I'm sure), and re-make the ghc-tarballs repo so that it doesn't include the mingw64 tarball in the history. We already have logic in sync-all to check for old repo versions, so that shouldn't cause any problems. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7017#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler ___ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list Glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs

The two options are: * Bundle everything in one, as we do now. Makes it convenient for users, but downloads are large and it uses more disk space. * Have 2 (or more) separate tarballs, and require the user unpacks the right ones for their platform. Possibly confusing for people trying to build GHC. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7017#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler ___ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list Glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs

That's unfortunate. It might have been better to make a new repo for this, so that only Win64 builds have to get it. What are we going to do for the source distribution? What is the 100MiB of libraries referred to in the ticket? -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7017#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler ___ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list Glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
