Re: submodule repos on GitHub

I personally consider this to be most reasonable. But maybe I oversee something… -- Best, Artem вт, 17 июля 2018 г. в 22:59, Richard Eisenberg :

Aha. I had just jumped to the chase.

But is there a reason we don't just point everyone (including newcomers) to git://git.haskell.org/ghc.git ? That's what I always use myself, and it seems simpler to do so.

Did you do the line above as well?

``` git config --global url."git://github.com/ghc/packages-".insteadOf git://github.com/ghc/packages/ ```

Hi devs,

The Newcomers page (https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Newcomers) recommends cloning GHC with

git clone --recursive git://github.com/ghc/ghc

I believe my students did this with success several weeks ago. But trying it again today leads to trouble with some submodules, e.g.:

Cloning into '/Users/rae/ltemp/ghc-test/libraries/Cabal'... fatal: remote error: ghc/packages/Cabal is not a valid repository name Email support@github.com for help fatal: clone of 'git://github.com/ghc/packages/Cabal.git' into submodule path '/Users/rae/ltemp/ghc-test/libraries/Cabal' failed

Is there something wrong in the internets? Or should we update the Newcomers page?
