GHC 8.0.2 package doesn't create a 'runhaskell' symlink in /opt/ghc/bin #69

Not sure if this is the right place to report, but the ghc-8.0.2 package from the Ubuntu PPA doesn't set up a runhaskell symlink in /opt/ghc/bin, only in opt/ghc/8.0.2/bin:

$ ls /opt/ghc/bin 
ghc@  ghc-8.0.2@  ghci@  ghci-8.0.2@  ghc-pkg@  ghc-pkg-8.0.2@  haddock@  haddock-ghc-8.0.2@  runghc@  runghc-8.0.2@
$ ls /opt/ghc/8.0.2/bin 
ghc@        ghci@        ghc-pkg@        haddock@            hp2ps*  hsc2hs*  runghc-8.0.2*
ghc-8.0.2*  ghci-8.0.2*  ghc-pkg-8.0.2*  haddock-ghc-8.0.2*  hpc*    runghc@  runhaskell@

hsc2hs and some other ones are also missing from /opt/ghc/bin, which is probably also a bug.

hsc2hs indeed could be postfixed as haddock etc. yet if you add build-tool: hsc2hs (which you should), cabal new-build will work, even hsc2hs isn't in $PATH

23Skidoo commented 7 years ago

IIRC Cabal follows the ghc-8.0.2 symlink to find the bin directory, so hsc2hs doesn't have to be in PATH.

@23Skidoo runhaskell was definitely an oversight; thanks for reporting (yes, this is the right place :-))
