Until gtk2hs is cabalized you probably can’t use haskell-utils directly, but if you agree with it’s way of handling dependencies, you can adopt that of course. > I've asked about moving it to cdbs, do you think it's a good idea? Personally, I see cdbs as the right tool for packages that build and install in a very standard way, i.e., if no or very little modification to the building has to be done, and I doubt that this applies to gtk2hs. OTOH, since you are stepping up as the maintainer of gtk2hs, if you prefer cdbs, you are welcome to use it, of course. > Maybe it'd be good to wait till I improve the deps --- or at least, keep > the ghc6 dep the way it were. You didn’t upload a package with an unversioned dependency on ghc6 yet, right? So I can upload that if you want, but if you prefer to work on the packaging yet some more, that’s fine with me.

Could we move this to lists.debian.org?
by John Goerzen 28 Jun '08

28 Jun '08

Hi, In the last few days, I had CC'd debian-release on a message. One of the people there replied, CCing this list too, then wrote to me later saying that this list bounced his message. I think it's about time to set up debian-haskell(a)lists.debian.org and move this list there. Any thoughts?

Trouble with haskell-configfile not migrating to testing
by John Goerzen 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

According to http://packages.qa.debian.org/h/haskell-configfile.html, tere are two reasons it hasn't migrated: bug #429486 and being out of date on s390. Strangely, bug #429486 has been marked closed for ages, and this package is marked not-for-us on s390. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on here? Thanks, -- John Please CC me on any replies.

Is it OK to upload Haskell libs to sid yet?
by John Goerzen 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

There was an email a few weeks ago asking us not to upload Haskell libraries to sid for awhile. There is a moderately important bugfix in HDBC that I'd like to upload, but have been holding off. Is it safe to do this yet?

Hello, Is there a darcs repo somewhere that contains the debianizations of the haskell packages? I'd like to contribute to the haskell packaging effort. Matthew

Patches to upgrade to haddock 2.1.0, improved hlibrary.mk
by David Fox 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

I have been working on the library documentation, specificially debianizing haddock 2.1.0, getting everything in the Debian repository to build with haddock 2.1.0, and modifying the haskell CDBS script so it generates correctly linked documentation and improved packaging, and so on. I ended up adding hlibrary.mk to haskell-devscripts, installed in /usr/share/haskell-devscripts, in a separate binary package named haskell-devscripts-cdbs. Maybe it should go in its own source package, or in cdbs. I also added a postinst and postrm script for the -doc packages to haskell-devscripts to get this all to go. I've built about a hundred of the haskell packages in sid successfully with only minor tweaks. All the tweaks to each package are in darcs repositories on src.seereason.com, mostly they built without change. The resulting packages are available in deb http://deb.seereason.com/ubuntu hardy-seereason main deb-src http://deb.seereason.com/ubuntu hardy-seereason main Also, a sample of the linked documentation is visible in http://test.seereason.com/usr/share/doc/ghc6-doc/libraries/index.html. I will update the lenny and sid versions shortly, and hopefully add amd64 builds as well. I would love to see these changes make their way into Debian. CHANGES TO THE ORIGINAL hlibrary.mk POSTED IN JANUARY: 1. Look at the control file, only pass the --enable-library-profiling if there is a -prof package there. Some packages are not compatible with profiling, e.g. haskell-plugin and anything that uses it. 2. Use the cabal-debian program (if available) to generate the dev, prof, and doc package dependencies, they go into the appropriate substvar file as haskell:Depends. The cabal-debian source lives in http://src.seereason.com/cabal-debian. 3. Add code to move any executables mentioned in the cabal file into their respective packages. 4. Add two symlinks to each documentation package: one so haddock can find the dependency documentation in /usr/share/doc/ghc6-doc/libraries/xxx during a package build, one in /usr/lib/haskell-packages/ghc6/share/doc/xxx because something breaks if its not there - trust me! 5. Call dh_haskell_prep when building the doc package so we get the postinst and postrm scripts which I added to haskell-devscripts. 6. Set DEB_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE=.haddock so the haddock interface file doesn't get compressed. Changes to haskell-devscripts: 1. Add a postinst and postrm for the -doc package that calls /usr/lib/ghc6-doc/gen_contents_index. These scripts are the same as the ones Ian is using in the bundled libraries. 2. Add code that creates the same link to /usr/share/doc/package/html mentioned in (4) above, for packages that don't use cdbs. Changes to ghc6: 1. Patch libraries/Makefile to not pass --hyperlink-source if haddock version is 2.1.0 or later 2. Make sure the directory that hscolour.css is being copied to exists 3. Pass -B `ghc --print-libdir` to haddock in gen_contents_index I had to remove --hyperlink-source from the rules file of each bundled library. I patched missingh to change some syntax the new haddock doesn't like, etc, etc.
