GHC Darcs Repositories

This page lists the active darcs repositories relating to GHC. For instructions on actually getting a GHC source tree, see Building/GettingTheSources.

The HEAD

These darcs repositories are the HEAD (main trunk) of GHC development:

http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc	The main GHC repository
http://darcs.haskell.org/testsuite	The test suite (requires python 2.4+)
http://darcs.haskell.org/nofib	The benchmark suite

Warning. Both the ghc and testsuite repositories tickle a case-sensitivity bug in darcs, so on Windows (only) you can't do a full darcs get for ghc or testsuite. Instead, either start with a tarball of the repository gotten from somewhere else, or do darcs get --partial. (The repository itself can't be fixed to avoid the bug, without messing up its history.)

The following repositories are the "GHC boot" libraries, i.e. the set of libraries that are necessary to build GHC (i.e. they are used when building the stage 2 compiler). They populate the libraries/ directory of a GHC tree:

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/array

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/base

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/bytestring

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/Cabal

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/containers

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/directory

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/filepath

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/haskell98

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/old-locale

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/old-time

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/packedstring

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/pretty

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/process

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/random

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/readline

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/template-haskell

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/unix

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/Win32

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/hpc

And the following repositories are the "extra" libraries; if in the libraries/ directory of a GHC tree then they will also be built:

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/ALUT

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/GLUT

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/HGL

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/HUnit

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/ObjectIO

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/OpenAL

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/OpenGL

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/QuickCheck

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/X11

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/arrows

Branches

The following branches are active:

6.8 Branch

Prepend ghc-6.8 to the name of the repository to get the 6.8 branch. For example, the 6.8 ghc repository is at http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-6.8/ghc.

Note: only the ghc repository and the core libraries were branched for 6.8, the extralibs packages are not found under ghc-6.8. The darcs-all script knows where to get everything, so you don't have to worry about this, just follow the instructions in Building/GettingTheSources.

6.6 Branch

Prepend ghc-6.6 to the name of the repository to get the 6.6 branch. For example, the 6.6 ghc repository is at http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-6.6/ghc. (Some? all? of) these are partial repositories, so you may need to use the --partial option to darcs to get them.

Note: only the main repositories and the core libraries were branched for 6.6, the extralibs packages are not found under ghc-6.6. The darcs-all script knows where to get everything, so you don't have to worry about this, just follow the instructions in Building/GettingTheSources.
