On a completely clean clone, I've checked out the tag ghc-7.8.3-release, ran sync-all get, boot, and configure, but the build fails on haskell98. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
I've worked around this by manually checking out the 'ghc-7.8' branch of various submodules until I got it to work (I think the ones I needed to change were dph, haskell98, haskell2010, template-haskell, and haddock, but I'm not sure). It seems the `ghc-7.8.3-release` tag is in a horrible shape in terms of reproducable building of imported repos. Is anyone looking into fixing this?
Starting with GHC 7.8.x, fingerprints are written into annotated & gpg-signed release tags: http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/tag/refs/tags/ghc-7.8.3-release That way you're able to restore via the fingerprint for a given release via: ./utils/fingerprint/fingerprint.py restore -f <(git show ghc-7.8.3-release | grep -F '|') I'm just surprised I couldn't find that described anywhere in the wiki, I was sure it was written down somewhere... hth, hvr
