How to build an HC archive
--------------------------
Modify hard-coded paths in inplace ``.conf`` files, and then
re-archive the HC tree::
- $ gsed -i.bak \
+ $ gsed -i \
-e 's#/usr/pkg#[[PREFIX]]#g' \
-e 's#'`dirname \`pwd\``'#[[GHC_SOURCE_PATH]]#g' \
inplace/lib/package.conf.d/*.conf \
+ */package.conf.inplace \
*/*/package-data.mk \
- */*/*/package-data.mk
+ */*/*/package-data.mk \
+ */*/*/*/package-data.mk
$ cd ..
- $ tar jcf ghc-{VERSION}-boot-{PLATFORM}.tar.bz2 ghc-{VERSION}
+ $ tar jcvf ghc-{VERSION}-boot-{PLATFORM}.tar.bz2 ghc-{VERSION}
Done. Upload the archive to some host and add it to the ``Makefile``.
