I also don't see why it makes sense to do this for the libraries that happen to need to come in the ghc6 packages, but not all the other libraries; e.g. I think the source for mtl is at least as likely to be wanted as the source for process. But putting a copy of the whole source package in one of the binary packages feels wrong to me. Any other opinions? Thanks Ian

GHCi on PPC
by Matthew William Cox 28 May '08

28 May '08

Hello, Why is GHCI not being built on PowerPC? The interactive toplevel is supported on this platform, according to http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Platforms I've monitored this list for a while, and it seems that there have been a few PPC issues stalling the 6.8.2 transition into testing. It's likely that no maintainers have access to a PPC linux box to test workarounds to these issues (aside from the Debian provided build servers.) I'm volunteering to perform any testing that can assist the packaging team in getting new versions of GHC and haskell libraries into testing. Cheers, Matthew

Finding sponsorship for Haskell packages?
by Magnus Therning 26 May '08

26 May '08

Are any of the readers of this list also doing any mentoring? The only response I've ever gotten on a package I've submitted to Debian Mentors called the package scary[1]. That for a package where I followed the steps at [2] to create. I suspect that Debian Mentors have quite a few DDs who are familiar with the more commonly used languages. Is there a single one who knows, uses and packages Haskell modules and programs? There might be a gap to fill here. I probably should acknowledge that there is a real possibility that I'm the only person who files ITPs on Haskell software and uploads to Debian Mentors... ;-) /M [1]: http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2007/10/msg00389.html [2]: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Creating_Debian_packages_from_Cabal_package -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus．therning＠gmail．com http://therning.org/magnus What if I don't want to obey the laws?

ghc6 transition overview

Hi, Am Dienstag, den 20.05.2008, 01:03 +0100 schrieb Thiemo Seufer: > Several packages are stuck in "Building" status for 47 days on peri, for > no apparent reason: > > gcj-4.1 > haskell-hsql-odbc > haskell-hsql-postgresql > haskell-hsql-mysql > > Maybe giving them back helps. Thanks Thiemo. Here is a small overview of the ghc6 related packages. A lot of haskell packages are in state "Building", although not for so long yet, which is very good: All on powerpc: * haskell-anydbm * ftphs * haskelldb * haxml * haskell-hgl * haskell-hsh * haskell-hsql All on s390: * haskell-glut All on mipsel: * haskell-hgl All on mips: * pandoc pandoc on mips is currently building, so hopefully will be in that state soon as well. These can be restarted, dependencies are available: haskell-http # (powerpc) haskell-hgl # (s390) So this still needs to happen for the ghc6 transition: * pandoc needs to build on powerpc (it’s already given back) * build problem of hdbc-sqlite3 on hppa debugged Things are looking good, thanks to all those involved, Joachim -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nomeata(a)debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: nomeata(a)joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata

ghc6.8 ready for lenny?
by Joachim Breitner 22 May '08

22 May '08

Hi Ian, hi others, I was just checking on the buildd status of some of my package when I noticed this very nicely green page: http://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=ghc6 But looking at http://release.debian.org/migration/testing.pl?package=ghc6 it seems there is some coordination is required. Is there a tool where I can see what other packages need to be updated so they can all enter lenny at the same time (which is required, right?)? Are there other issues holding back the migration?

Bug#482328: RM: libghc6-hdbc-sqlite3-dev et. al. [hppa] -- ROM; Blocks ghc6 transition
by Joachim Breitner 21 May '08

Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, please remove these three binary packages from unstable, in their hppa version: libghc6-hdbc-sqlite3-dev libhugs-hdbc-sqlite3 hpodder The first two do not build on hppa due to a strange compiler error and hold back the transition of ghc6, the latter one is a depending package. This was recommended by a member of the release team (Philipp Kern) and approved by the maintainer, John Goerzen.

hdbc-sqlite3 on hppa

Hi John, Hi Ian, hdbc-sqlite3 has build problems on hppa holding back the ghc6 transition, see http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=hdbc-sqlite3&ver=1.1.4.0.0&arch=hpp… The relevant lines seem to be: runhugs -98 +o -P/build/buildd/hdbc-sqlite3-1.1.4.0.0/dist/scratch:/build/buildd/hdbc-sqlite3-1.1.4.0.0/testsrc: testsrc/runtests.hs +------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Testing HDBC database module: sqlite3, bound to client: 3.5.8 | Proxied driver: sqlite3, bound to version: 3.5.8 | Connected to server version: 3.5.8 +------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cases: 39 Tried: 0 Errors: 0 Failures: 0 [..] Cases: 39 Tried: 38 Errors: 0 Failures: 0 Cases: 39 Tried: 39 Errors: 0 Failures: 0 make[1]: *** [test-hugs] Segmentation fault make[1]: Leaving directory `/build/buildd/hdbc-sqlite3-1.1.4.0.0' make: *** [install] Error 2 Do you have an idea what causes this, and how to fix it?

State of the ghc6-6.8 migration
by Joachim Breitner 18 May '08

18 May '08

Hi Release Team, I’d like to know how the ghc6 migration is going. Yesterday, I found out that ghc6 has finally built on all architectures and is a valid candidate, so I’m hoping we can release lenny with ghc6.8 and depending packages I care about, such as xmonad and gtk2hs. Am I right that this view: http://release.debian.org/migration/testing.pl?package=ghc6;expand=1 gives me all possible problems holding back the migration of ghc6? That would then be: haskell-anydbm has to wait for two days. haskell-anydbm needs to build on powerpc (DepWait on missingh, just built today) missingh needs to build on powerpc (Built today, pending upload) ftphs needs to build on powerpc (DepWait on missingh, just built today) haskell-glut needs to build on s390 (Marked "Building", build log looks good) haskelldb needs to build on powerpc (needs to be restarted, now that ghc6 is there) haxml needs to build on powerpc (Build failed:) http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=haxml;ver=1.13.3-2;arch=powerpc;stam… hdbc-sqlite3 needs to build on hppa (Build failed:) http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=hdbc-sqlite3;ver=1.1.4.0.0;arch=hppa… haskell-hgl needs to build on mipsel, powerpc, s390 (Needs to be restarted on all of them, dependencies now there) haskell-hsh needs to build on powerpc (DepWait on missingh, just built today) haskell-hsql needs to build on powerpc (Build failed, same as haxml:) http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=haskell-hsql;ver=1.7-2;arch=powerpc;… haskell-http needs to build on powerpc (Needs to be restarted, haskell-parsec available since two days) pandoc needs to build on mips, mipsel, powerpc (Needs to be restarted, dependencies now there) geordi has to wait for two day Is this somewhat complete or are there other problems with the migrations that I can not see on that page? And is there anything I can do to help the migration (besides _not_ uploading new versions :-)) Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nomeata(a)debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: nomeata(a)joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
