2. Check out the source code from git
-------------------------------------
The recommended way to get a darcs checkout is to start off by
downloading a snapshot with a name like:
First get the GHC git repository:
ghc-HEAD-2009-09-09-ghc-corelibs-testsuite.tar.bz2
from:
http://darcs.haskell.org/
and then untar it and bring it up-to-date with:
$ cd ghc
$ ./darcs-all get
Alternatively you can use darcs to get the repos, but it will take a
lot longer. First get the GHC darcs repository:
$ darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc/
$ git clone http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc.git/
Then run the darcs-all script in that repository
to get the other repositories:
$ cd ghc
$ chmod +x darcs-all
$ ./darcs-all get
$ ./sync-all get
This checks out the "boot" packages.
