#12859: ghc/packages/Cabal is not a valid repository name --------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: philderbeast | Owner: hvr Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Trac & Git | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Windows Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | Type of failure: None/Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: --------------------------------------+--------------------------------- On 2016-11-05 I was able to follow the newcomer build instructions [https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Newcomers] for and built ghc on Windows with MSYS2 x64. I am now repeating those steps and see that doing a clean recursive clone of ghc fails for the Cabal submodule and many others ... {{{ $ git clone --recursive git://github.com/ghc/ghc Cloning into '/d/Dev/Src/ghc/libraries/Cabal'... fatal: remote error: ghc/packages/Cabal is not a valid repository name }}} I tried the exact same recursive clone on OSX and it completed without error. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12859 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
