Raising the bar for developers to contribute to a project has
been proven to be a very bad idea many times. Let's not take GHC
down that path.
I don't especially relish having to learn another vcs tool or raising
the bar for contributions to Cabal either (we have lots of people who
make small one-off contributions).
I wonder how many of the libraries are "core" in that they need to
be changed a lot for GHC?
The boot libraries, ie, those needed to build the HEAD of the ghc repo:
SUBDIRS = ghc-prim $(INTEGER_LIBRARY) base array packedstring
SUBDIRS += containers bytestring old-locale old-time filepath
directory
ifeq "$(GhcLibsWithUnix)" "YES"
SUBDIRS += unix
endif
ifeq "$(Windows)" "YES"
SUBDIRS += $(wildcard Win32)
endif
SUBDIRS += process pretty hpc template-haskell editline Cabal
random haskell98
Here Cabal, is ghc variant of the Cabal repo, not the actually Cabal
head.
The whole point is to make sure that anybody who decides to hack GHC
needs to install and learn just one vcs, not two.
