TODOs and Remarks

Now

• ghcup init?

• merge two download files

• fetch/unpack functionality

• installing multiple versions of the same

• post-install

• proper test suite

• !! update of 0.1.5 must go in ghcup-0.0.1.json !!

• try to run exe before upgrade (backup to ~/.ghcup/bin/ghcup.old)

• stdout flushing?

• resume support (for make-install only)

Maybe

• version ranges in json
• sign the JSON? (Or check gpg keys?)
• testing (especially distro detection -> unit tests)

Later

• add support for RC/alpha/HEAD versions

Cleanups

• avoid alternative for IO
• use plucky or oops instead of Excepts

Questions

• move out GHCup.Version module, bc it’s not library-ish?
• mirror support
• 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?
