#8886: sync-all: END actions result in confusing error message -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: fw | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: Building GHC Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 | failed hour) | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The instructions at [wiki:Newcomers] were slightly outdated, and result in a rather confusing error message: {{{ $ ./sync-all --testsuite get Unrecognised flag: --testsuite at ./sync-all line 872. == Checking for old haddock repo == Checking for old binary repo == Checking for old mtl repo == Checking for old Cabal repo == Checking for old time from tarball ============================ ATTENTION! You have an old time package in your GHC tree! Please remove it (e.g. "rm -r libraries/time"), and then run "./sync-all get" to get the new repository. ============================ == Checking for obsolete Git repo URL $ }}} The patch suppresses the misleading error message. I've already removed the `--testsuite` flag from the wiki page. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8886 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
