#8667: sync-all doesn't work properly if you run from a fork on github ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: schyler | Owner: hvr Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Trac & Git | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The intuitive behaviour when working with projects on github is to make your own fork so that you can use the online interface (or GitHub for {windows,osx} apps). One would assume that this behaviour was endorsed because of the ~130 forks to the ghc repo, however forking the repo actually causes ./sync-all to stop working (it asks for a username and password to whomever@ github.com). It seems the only way for a person to work with the project from github is to clone directly from the original repo. This sounds like a bug. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8667 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
