patch applied (hugs98): Added a shiny new unified darcs-all script
by Sven Panne 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

Sun Apr 1 10:49:41 PDT 2007 sven.panne(a)aedion.de * Added a shiny new unified darcs-all script This is a mildly tested new version of a darcs-all script which should work with GHC, Hugs, and nhc98. It is not yet a full 100% replacement of the existing scripts, but it will soon be. Apart from the fact that it is not tied to a single Haskell implementation, its main new features are that it uses a single more powerful package description file and offers a --release option to retrieve a given set of package versions from Hackage. To do: * Handle more general URLs in the package list * Add a mode to print out the list of packages (for Makefiles, scripts, etc.) * --complete/--partial: What should be the default? A ./darcs-all A ./package-list

patch applied (hugs98): readline command completion (from Georg Sauthoff)
by Ross Paterson 01 Apr '07

01 Apr '07

Sun Apr 1 02:12:02 PDT 2007 Ross Paterson <ross(a)soi.city.ac.uk> * readline command completion (from Georg Sauthoff) Improves the readline command completion feature of hugs: - added completion of function names and constructors - added completion of command names (:<cmd>) - added completion of module names (e.g. after :browse , etc.) - only do filename completion where it makes sense (e.g. after :load , etc.) - expand use of tilde (~) in filenames (previously it was completed but not recognized by hugs) - read and write the history from/to ~/.hugs_history - make hugs recognize :help It's not perfect, e.g.: - the names include things that aren't in scope (:names has the same problem) - the names don't include qualified names - the words completed are space-delimited, rather than being Haskell ids - completion for :load works for filenames only, not modules Still, it's a start, and better than nothing.

Hmmm, darcs doesn't seem to handle any kind of meta data: http://darcs.net/DarcsWiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#head-f6690ca8f72ee57532… Experimenting with a local repo, it looks like everything is created 0666 (modulo umask), so I can fix this in the darcs repo, but this won't have any effect on checkouts. GHC's darcs-all suffers from this, too, and nhc98 comes with a 'start' script (which we should probably add, too). Cheers, S.

Hugs' build system
by Sven Panne 25 Mar '07

25 Mar '07

FYI: While trying to fix some issues with Hugs, I came to the conclusion that Hugs' build system as it stands today is a bit arcane and might need some improvements. The general strategy will be to make things more similar to GHC and nhc98: * I think we should abandon version names like "Sep2006" and go for the usual numerical even/odd numbering scheme. This more consistent with the rest of the world and makes it easier for tools to determine e.g. which version is newer. I am not sure if we have ever released a numerical version, so I propose to call the current version 0.9 (odd, because it is a developer version) and bump it to 1.0 for the next release. * make and rpmbuild are used the wrong way round for most automated build systems, i.e. one should be able to use rpmbuild to build an rpm, and not make. Furthermore, configure should determine the version number, not make. I propose to use a similar version numbering as GHC, i.e. major.minor.date for snapshots and simply major.minor for releases, including the current way of e.g. saying 'RELEASE=YES rpmbuild hugs98.spec" to build a release. * The current way of checking out things, tar-ing it up, unpacking into /tmp and building there is very annoying and I fail to see a good reason for this. Let's do it like GHC/nhc98 and use a darcs-all script to check out/update all things, so one can e.g. easily copy the whole source tree around and get a usable, version controlled build tree without any need for network access. While doing this, we can make it very explicit what are "core" packages and which are "extra" ones by simply listing them in separate files (and not bury this deep inside the Makefile). * I think that Hugs should finally be moved to darcs instead of CVS, the current mix of version control systems is a bit obscure and we need darcs for the libraries, anyway. I have no former experience in doing this conversion, but I think others on this list have, so I'd prefer not doing this for myself (or at least get some hint/tricks/... from others who have done it before). I don't know exactly how WinHugs is currently being built, but I guess that there are no fundamental reasons why the above changes could seriously break WinHugs development. Otherwise: Neil, please yell! :-) Cheers, S.
