Hi devs,
Are there up-to-date instructions on how to deal with submodules in GHC?
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/working-conventions/git/submodules https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/working-conventions/git/submodules does give nice information. It refers to https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/repositories https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/repositories to learn about specific repositories. But is that second page correct? It refers to e.g. GitHub as the upstream for Haddock. Will our new GitLab-based CI pull from GitHub's Haddock? And what if a contributor doesn't have commit access?
Indeed GitHub is still the upstream for Haddock (although I think we talk to the Haddock maintainers about this).
Maybe it's all there, but I don't quite see how a contributor can ensure that CI has access to patches on submodules.
I have added a bit of language to [submodules] explaining how to accomplish this. Do let me know if this is still unclear. Cheers, - Ben [submodules]: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/working-conventions/git/submodules
