#20340 closed defect (wontfix)

ghc-devel fails to fetch

Reported by: gale@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.7.1
Keywords: Cc:
Port: ghc-devel

Description

Mac OS X 10.4.11 Intel, MacPorts 1.7.1 

$ sudo port install ghc-devel
--->  Fetching ghc-devel
Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: invalid command name "cd"
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
$

This port should either be fixed and updated, see #14462, or removed from MacPorts.

Is anyone actually using this? It could be a nice convenience, but people who want to use GHC HEAD could just build it manually like on other platforms.

I will probably remove it unless fetching is straightened out upstream. When ghc moved the core development to git, it was necessary use both git and darcs to fetch the compiler and core libraries. This was unworkable.

ghc is may be moving back to darcs, which would make resuscitation of ghc-devel possible.

The obsolete "cd" command was removed from ghc-devel in r54981; a pre-fetch block was also added which deliberately prevents installation of the port at all.

ghc-devel is obsolete.
