Hi *,
while working on some related code. I came across a rather peculiar behavior with GHC built from the current master branch at b2c2e3e8.
Indeed this sounds like a real bug. Can you open a ticket? Also, it looks like the gist has projected out directory structure; do you think you could push the testcase as a proper git repository?
PS: can we have a folder in ghc, which contains cabal packages, and part of the validation is just iterating over all those packages with `cabal new-test -w /path/to/inplace/bin/ghc-stage2`? In that case, one could simply change the executable target in [1] into a testsuite, and drop the package into that folder?
The problem is that we don't have access to cabal-install. However, I think there is certainly room for this sort of testing as part of, for instance, the nightly test cycle. In this case we'd likely want to contain this infrastructure in a repository outside of ghc proper. Cheers, - Ben
