RE: [ANNOUNCE] Shaking up GHC

Herbert,

I think it's already quite convenient. After all, you're expected to have a minimum GHC bootstrapping environment anyway. So having the tools installed (as already do now, e.g. you need alex, happy, and ghc to be able to work on GHC).

I agree. Roughly, we are talking about going from:

cabal install alex happy

to:

cabal install alex happy ansi-terminal mtl shake QuickCheck

Wouldn't git clone git://github.com/snowleopard/shaking-up-ghc shake-build cabal install shake-build/ be sufficient? Cheers, - Ben
