[GHC] #9926: Restore INSTALL file in src dist
#9926: Restore INSTALL file in src dist -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Documentation | Version: 7.10.1-rc1 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I seem to recall previous source distributions having an `INSTALL` file with instructions. (The particular detail I was looking for was whether or not I need to `perl boot` the 7.10-rc1 source distro.) There don't seem to be any installation instructions anymore. Could this be restored for future source distros? Thanks! -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9926> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Would anyone like to try? -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9926#comment:1> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
