I went ahead wasting some time and hacked up `arc-lite` for fun:
https://github.com/haskell-infra/arc-lite
It's currently at 407 Haskell SLOCs according to sloccount(1), and emulates the `arc` CLI as a drop-in replacement. As a proof-of-concept I've implemented the 3 simple operations
- `arc install-certificate` - `arc list` - `arc call-conduit`
If we wasted even more time, this could result in
- Simplify installation of Arcanist for GHC contributors via Hacked (i.e. just `cabal install arc-lite`) - Implement a simple `arc diff`-like operation for submitting patches to Phabricator - Implement convenience operations tailored to GHC development - Teach arc-lite to behave more Git-idomatic - Make `arc-lite` automatically manage multi-commit code-reviews by splitting them up and submit them as multiple inter-dependendant code-revisions - ...
Any comments?
I'm surprised there hasn't been any feedback on the list yet, so let me say I like this a lot. It'll be easier to get running than having the right PHP interpreter version with all required libraries. It's easier to bundle in the Haskell Platform as well. Do you plan to implement the most important commands, or is this project on ice (for now)?
