Re: downloading ghc head version

Hey Harendra, How do you feel about Nix? This simple one-command-away way always worked for me great: https://github.com/mpickering/ghc-artefact-nix (Modulo a caveat with the newer versions of Nix https://github.com/mpickering/ghc-artefact-nix/issues/16 which is easily fixed by changing the command in README from `nix run` to `nix shell`). Interestingly, this Nix expression seems to work okay currently. It uses fedora builds, not deb ones. But when I tried to reconstruct the link it is supposed to use, I also couldn't download anything there: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/ghc-x86_64-fe... -- Best, Artem On Mon, 31 Jan 2022 at 17:43, Harendra Kumar wrote:

It seems the latest artifacts download link (https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/jobs/artifacts/...) at GHC gitlab is not working.

If this is not the right place to ask this, can someone point me to the right place?

Hi,

I am trying to set up a CI for ghc head version. I am not sure what is the official supported method to install a nightly/head version of GHC. haskell/actions/setup on github seems to support it via ghcup. But it almost always fails, I saw it succeeding once till now. It tries to download it from the following URL, but fails with 404 not found:

downloading:

https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/ghc-x86_64-de...

...

I tried this link in the browser and I get the same error. Is that the right way to install it? If not, can someone suggest a reliable way to get the head version, other than building it myself?

Thanks, Harendra
