cvs-ghc archives

[Bartosz Nitka]

Hello,

I was reading a comment that pointed to
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2007-September/038458.html.
It's a dead link and I couldn't find any place where cvs-ghc is archived.
I've tried webarchive.

Looks like Simon had a simliar problem 4 years ago:
http://ghc-devs.haskell.narkive.com/3dIDGsHy/cvs-ghc-archives

Is the data forever lost?

There aren't actually that many references in the source tree:
./libraries/base/configure.ac:# See

./rts/linker/Elf.c: * See thread

./rts/Linker.c:   // see

./testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/tcfail201.hs:--
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2008-June/043173.html

I'm happy to remove them if that's what we want to do.

Coincidentally cvs-ghc at haskell.org appears 58 times in the GHC source
tree. Do we want to keep using it?

Thanks,
Bartosz
