Hi, One side note to the cleaning process: Once I have added a piece of code to the toplevel Sconstruct which helps push changes from within a firewall by running ssh that forwards the connection. ============================== elif "push" in COMMAND_LINE_TARGETS: fw = ARGUMENTS.get("fw", "") if fw == "": os.system("darcs push --no-set-default neil@darcs.haskell.org:/home/darcs/yhc") os.system("darcs push --no-set-default neil@darcs.haskell.org:/home/darcs/york-compiler98 --repodir=src/compiler") else: print "Pushing via firewall - you may be asked for passwords multiple times" os.system("export SSH_PORT=2222;" + \ "ssh -L $SSH_PORT:darcs.haskell.org:22 -f " + fw + " sleep 1000;" + \ "darcs push --no-set-default neil@localhost:/home/darcs/yhc;" + \ "darcs push --no-set-default neil@localhost:/home/darcs/york-compiler98 --repodir=src/compiler") env.Alias("push", []) ============================== so one can run "scons push fw=hostname" and get around a firewall. I'd like that this logic be kept in the new build system, whatever it will be, so what would be the best place to plug it in? With scons, that was just an additional `if ' statement that analyzes the command line. Also, eventually there will come time to integrate the Javascript backend into the new build system: what can be recommended for this? Currently there is a Makefile within the backend, so in order to build and install it, one just runs this (from the top source directory): (cd src/translator/js; make all install) after Yhc itself has been built and installed.
