TODOs and Remarks

Now

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

• allow to build 8.8

• curl DL does not cache json

• explain environment variables

• add --keep=<always|error> option

• allow to switch to curl/wget at runtime

• cross support

• installing multiple versions of the same

• proper test suite

• add more logging

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?
