Thank you Herbert! Did you follow up with more specific instructions? In particular, - how do I bring an existing clean tree up to date? - if I have a tree with a bunch of as-yet-unpushed commits, what do I do?

However, this phase 1 is | important to get done early (ideally half a year ago) in order to make | 'ghc-complete' bit more redundant (I hope Joachim doesn't mind... :-) ) | and allow to properly 'git bisect' as far back as possible into the | past. | | While the workflow changes[1] to additionally have the sub-repo change | also | registed in ghc.git, practically, this should affect only a minority of | you, as the remaining packages (see list at the bottom of this mail) to | be | converted into submodules are modified *very* seldom. | | This will be similiar to the conversion of haddock.git into a proper | submodule of which you read up in | | * http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.ghc.devel/4049 | * http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.ghc.devel/4072 | * http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.ghc.devel/4077 | | List of packages converted into proper submodules: | | * libffi-tarballs libffi-tarballs.git | * utils/hsc2hs hsc2hs.git | * libraries/array packages/array.git | * libraries/deepseq packages/deepseq.git | * libraries/directory packages/directory.git | * libraries/filepath packages/filepath.git | * libraries/haskell98 packages/haskell98.git | * libraries/haskell2010 packages/haskell2010.git | * libraries/hoopl packages/hoopl.git | * libraries/hpc packages/hpc.git | * libraries/old-locale packages/old-locale.git | * libraries/old-time packages/old-time.git | * libraries/process packages/process.git | * libraries/unix packages/unix.git | * nofib nofib.git | * libraries/parallel packages/parallel.git | * libraries/stm packages/stm.git | * libraries/dph packages/dph.git | | | Ideally, you won't have any outstanding changes in those repos (hint, | hint!) to make the transition for your GHC clones easier. I'll follow up | with more specific instructions as soon as I've pushed the changes. | | | N.B.: ghc-tarballs will *not* become a submodule, as it would impose a | non-neglible cost on everyone, not only the developers on windows | and, moreover, the plan is to turn ghc-tarballs into a scripted | download (or maybe something git-annex based) as Git is not really | suited for such large blobs. | | See also discussion at | http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.ghc.devel/4895 | | | [1]: For the new workflow in case you really happen to have to touch | one of the affected modules, see the work-in-progress Wiki entry at | | https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/WorkingConventions/Git/Submodules#M | akingchangestoGHCsubmodules | _______________________________________________ | ghc-devs mailing list | ghc-devs@haskell.org | http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
