Thanks, I didn't know that. I subscribed and I will ask further questions to that list. > GHC has a 'make tags' command but I've never gotten it to work. I have > always just run 'hasktags .' in the compiler/ directory, which works > pretty well for me. (If you're in the RTS, run ctags, etc instead) Great! It worked at the first try and I already started using it. > We've been discussing putting together an easy bugs list.

Thanks, I'll start looking for issues with easy difficulty for now and ask further questions to ghc-devs mailing list. --- Ömer Sinan Ağacan http://osa1.net _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
