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-fedora33-linux.tar.gz?job=validate-x86_64-linux-fedora33

Best, Artem

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