1 synopsis: Re-instate `initialBuildSteps`
\r
8 The `initialBuildSteps` function from `Distribution.Simple.Build`, which had
\r
9 been hastily removed, has been reinstated.
\r
11 It now comes with a deprecation warning: calling that function does not suffice
\r
12 to prepare the sources for a package, as there are other steps that one might
\r
13 also need to perform:
\r
15 - running pre-processors (such as alex/happy)
\r
16 - running pre-build hooks or custom logic
\r
17 (in build-type: Hooks or build-type: Custom or Configure)
\r
19 Consumers wanting to prepare the sources of a package, e.g. in order to launch a
\r
20 REPL session, are advised to run `setup repl --repl-multi-file=<fn>` instead.
