How to update the compiler source

• get a copy of microsoft/typescript and checkout master.
• Copy the compiler and services folders from the TypeScript master to here.
• Delete the following:
  • compiler/tsc.ts as that is not a part of services proper and is used for command line handling which we don't need.
  • compiler/tsconfig.json
  • services/tsconfig.json

Magic

Basically we run makeTypeScriptGlobal.ts (both in parent and child) to export module ts to the variable global.ts so we can just use ts. without any imports. This isn't ideal but if you are willing to do more work to make it easier/safer to use the compiler source send a PR :P.

Notes

We list the files in makeTypeScriptGlobal.ts, these are basically the tsconfig.json files from the services folder, with a minor change to preserve the order:

"../compiler/diagnosticInformationMap.generated.ts",
"../compiler/commandLineParser.ts",

as commandLineParser depends on stuff from compiler/diagnosticInformationMap.generated.ts. We should report this to the TS team.

package.json TypeScript vs this

We still have typescript in package.json for: grunt and lib.d.ts. That should go away soon.
