#7152: Add flag to configure that skips overwriting of symlinks on install ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: tibbe | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Build System | Version: 7.4.2 Keywords: | Os: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by liyang): * cc: hackage.haskell.org@… (added) Comment: I install different versions to /usr/local/ghc/ghc-x.y.z and have a bunch of bash functions/aliases that prepend the selected version to $PATH &c. If we're going to allow multiple versioned binaries to be installed directly to /usr (which would be nice), we'll want some way to choose between them too, cf. gcc_select on OS X, in which case we should also figure out how that'd interact with say Debian's update-alternatives(8). -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7152#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
