Nigthlies

Requirements

File naming and rotation

  1. Every year has its own file ghcup-nightlies-<year>-0.0.7.yaml
  2. The file ghcup-nightlies-0.0.7.yaml points to the currently running year (either as a duplicate or a symlink in git)

Bindist storage/fetching

Bindists should be stored on a proper download server. If Gitlab is used, the URLs should follow the stable gitlab REST API as outlined here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/job_artifacts.html

File Format

GHCup introduced:

  • two new tags Nightly and LatestNightly (compare with Prerelease and LatestPrerelease here: https://github.com/haskell/ghcup-metadata/blob/develop/ghcup-prereleases-0.0.7.yaml)
    • all nightlies except the latest one use the tag Nightly
    • the latest nightly uses the tag LatestNightly (and only that one)
  • a new key viReleaseDay (on the same level as viTags), where the value is the date of the nightly release, e.g. 2022-12-31

The file should start with the following content:

globalTools:
  ShimGen:
    dlUri: https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghcup/shimgen/shim-2.exe
    dlHash: 7c55e201f71860c5babea886007c8fa44b861abf50d1c07e5677eb0bda387a70
toolRequirements: {}
ghcupDownloads:
  GHC:

And then followed by the actual entries. No other tools or non-nightly versions should be part of the file.

Two example entries are:
