TODOs and Remarks

Now

• print-system-reqs

Cleanups

• avoid alternative for IO
• don't use Excepts?

Maybe

• maybe: changelog Show the changelog of a GHC release (online)

• OS faking

• sign the JSON? (Or check gpg keys?)

• testing (especially distro detection -> unit tests)

• hard cleanup command?

Later

• static builds and host ghcup
• do bootstrap-haskell with new ghcup
• add support for RC/alpha/HEAD versions
• check for updates on start
• use plucky or oops instead of Excepts

Questions

• handling of SIGTERM and SIGUSR
• installing musl on demand?
• redo/rethink how tool tags works
  • tarball tags as well as version tags?
• mirror support
• check for new version on start
  • how to propagate updates? Automatically? Might solve the versioning problem
  • maybe add deprecation notice into JSON
• interactive handling when distro doesn't exist and we know the tarball is incompatible?
• ghcup-with wrapper to execute a command with a given ghc in PATH?
