Given a GHC git commit hash, is there a way to get the various libraries into a state where I can build the GHC version specified by the hash?
As suggested by this: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/GettingTheSources#Tracking... and some help from Igloo on #ghc, I grabbed a build log from http://darcs.haskell.org/ghcBuilder/builders/tn23/534/4.html and generated a fingerprint file from that. I then did ./utils/fingerprint/fingerprint.py restore -f tn23build534.fp and tried to build it, but was still thwarted by the following: Configuring Cabal-1.13.3... ghc-cabal: At least the following dependencies are missing: base >=4 && <3 && >=2 && <5, filepath >=1 && <1.3 make[1]: *** [libraries/Cabal/Cabal/dist-boot/package-data.mk] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 At this point I think I basically have to give up on using git bisect which I have found so useful on other projects.
