Major version symlinks
Until recently, I managed my own farm of /opt/ghc-x.y.z
installations. But I guess this is precisly what ghcup
is for, so I am trying to use it.
One feature that I was hoping to see is that ~/.ghcup/bin/
would contain links ghc-8.6
, ghci-8.6
etc. that point to the latest ghcup
-installed release of that series.
Usually I don’t care much about the difference between ghc-8.6.4
and ghc-8.6.5
and just like to specify cabal new-build -w ghc-8.6
instead of trying to remember which is the latest version.
