Unfortunately we don't use submodules for all repos e.g. base. This makes it very hard to accurately check out a previous state and bisect errors unfortunately.

Hi,

Andreas and I found that the new IO manager is not working properly in the current GHC head. I'm sure that it worked well at least on May 7.

We need to narrow the range of commits, so I did:

% git checkout bb2795db36b36966697c228315ae20767c4a8753 % git submodule update

But this does not checkout proper submodules. For instance, libraries/base has newer commits. And of cource, building fails.

Please tell us how to checkout proper submodules against a specific GHC tree.

Is there a reason why some submodules are proper git repos and some aren't? Benefits of having git repos as submodules are hopefully clear so I'm interested why this isn't the case here. - -- Mateusz K. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJRrpwJAAoJEM1mucMq2pqX8fcP/iNexwoV425kxRh5uPH0/Rrc hP0a9li5z4ddzYHjCaZTFc25HxVK6f6FqX05nbfUH8Uc39a71g+A2qntdpQ0JI7S SO5EBH39i/ehCmyUDdM/tcdF4jvdk+1iVmiyXmzsefnC+WC4vlMSEwNnOeWUxNok 79AUw8cC/7yAT88q3Ktvs2hgPKmpQ/90nQnNvLceYgSu19UgGCilmfVn0KuOCtda wBEO32xC61MJdDVrPgQqqo/niW4s67ECF5yEZEvtBKY8sBBtJQhR+nOTtiaBqTl5 q8DHz+6V8djGAZ89xiDjFakGA1E5+VhKkCZhwwvsH3DqzfVn/q9G2IH9pomdxYCy COhefxxN2Fsqe5V5rqBhZEdASJuraPhnD6Wh2cHTHgCrYC39RjgHGdUsZ304ufaN P9CDxBn2uJtPaW5klL8yMvRAjL78myljdozZMmeqZ/Jdwi28iCJ+T8Bg2ZTnwncm J1BRKHdx84AhVqQtJEv2fl6jX7XX3Mh2Iuoe9Vkr2WoO7UaqkJQUE0rhlExHrh9/ NQHKQhDxeinHtc5DRJBFA6n1eKhb1CKm/XPA0k2xQMjTaC6GamwOD1BpKekhHrxk yExUIINGmDBr0PaitTJq85NRFsBzLciCbO2oPVnVVTkCJdnZf0xSuetkrnh1hSgM NAhVIIZikZgPKEnJlP/E =YFFN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
