This repository contains the source code for the primary GHC website.

Updating content

The site is generated using the Hakyll static-site generator. Use cabal to build the ghc-website executable.

The website can be built using the ghc-website build command.

The website cna be previewed locally using ghc-website watch. You can then run ./check.sh to run linkcheck on your local copy.

Since 7.10.2 we auto-generate the tarball links on the release download pages. This requires metadata describing the files available from the download site (e.g. downloads.haskell.org) which is stored in files.index. This file can be updated using the gen-index executable provided by this package, passing the path to a local checkout of the downloads repository on the command line.

Deploying

First build the website with,

$ ghc-website build

The resulting content will be in _site/. This can be rsync'd to webhost.haskell.org (using sftpfs since webhost.haskell.org only offers SFTP).
