There has been some talk of some similar stuff in the IRC channel.

This would for example, be fantastic in combination with Vagrant[1], to immediately provision a machine you can begin working with even on Windows. Then you could have a GHC development environment up in minutes.

On a related note, I also have some (non public) Ansible playbooks that will set up a Haskell development environment for Linux, but it's fairly primitive and doesn't quite set up a working GHC checkout (yet.)

Hi all, 

Returning to the topic discussed by Simon M. and others here:

This is my attempt at a script for bootstrapping a GHC-validating VM:

Let me know if there's a better way, or if you'd like to help get this kind of thing into an even more accessible form (Amazon AMI, Chef recipe, etc).

Cheers,
