My sole concern with this is that git is often not present on build servers, which may be minimal cloud VMs. Here's what I get when I try to install git on mine:
# apt install git --no-install-recommends ... The following NEW packages will be installed: git git-man libcurl3-gnutls liberror-perl libexpat1 libgdbm3 perl perl-modules 0 upgraded, 8 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. Need to get 10.4 MB of archives. After this operation, 57.2 MB of additional disk space will be used.
I'm no fan of unnecessary bloat, but considering that typical Debian installation of ghc is +500MB (7.4) to +800M (7.10) (severely bloated by multiple almost copies of the same file), I'm not sure how relevant this is on a haskell build server.
My entire server is under 150Mb (docker image). I build GHC myself without the bloat. -- View this message in context: http://haskell.1045720.n5.nabble.com/Improvements-to-package-hosting-and-sec... Sent from the Haskell - Haskell-Cafe mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
