Re: Recompiling the darcs tree after a pull

What I usually do is build GHC from darcs and make-install it. I then do a darcs pull and use the previously built compiler to bootstrap. I guess this is not optimal and I should just use the last stable GHC to recompile the darcs tree.

Yes, that isn't a "supported" workflow. The rule is that we support building GHC using either: (a) any released version of GHC version 5.04 and later, or (b) itself. (by "itself" we mean a compiler built from these same sources). In other words, building the HEAD using a 6.5 snapshot isn't guaranteed to work. It might work. Cheers, Simon
