What exactly do I have to do to move this towards inclusion in the base libraries? Make a track ticket? And then?
* First setup your system to build GHC: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Preparation
* Checkout the sources: $ git clone http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc.git/ $ cd ghc $ ./sync-all get
* Make your change by editing: libraries/base/Control/Arrow.hs
* Test it by building ghc and the libraries: $ cp mk/build.mk.sample mk/build.mk You might want to use the quick BuildFlavour but make sure to set HADDOCK_DOCS to YES. $ perl boot $ ./configure $ make
* Commit! $ git add Control/Arrow.hs $ git commit $ git format-patch
* Add the patch to your ticket.
Not to spoil anything but I saw Ross already made the change ;-)
That's great, thanks! The procedure for Compiling GHC did look rather daunting to me. :) Best regards, Heinrich Apfelmus -- http://apfelmus.nfshost.com
