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? Thanks, Richard
