Re: source-dist from GHC master branch

Hello,

I'd like to create a source distribution (source-dist) from GHC git master branch. I tried hadrian (hadrian/build.sh source-dist) and make (make sdist-ghc) but both failed in different ways. Should this work (at all) for any git snapshot?

Hadrian successfully built a source dist (ghc-8.11.0.20200215-src.tar.xz) but it did not compile.

For the record, this is being discussed on #17848 and #17849. Cheers, - Ben
