Please mark these packages as stable on x86 and amd64, sparc, ppc & ppc64 dev-lang/ghc-bin-6.4.2 dev-lang/ghc-6.4.2 dev-haskell/cabal-1.1.4 (ghc deps on cabal) ghc-6.4.2 is a bugfix release, following on from 6.4.1 which is currently marked stable on various arches. We've also made a number of changes to the ebuild for 6.4.2. In particular the ebuild now repects the users CFLAGS although it filters them heavily. It should also now support gcc-4.1.x ok, including updating from gcc-3.x to 4.x after emerging ghc. It still supports hardened gcc profiles, though it canot cope with changing from a vanilla to hardened gcc profile without re-emerging ghc. Notes for arch testers: x86 and amd64 have been fairly well tested by the haskell team. For sparc, ppc and ppc64 we have not done quite such extensive testing so you may like to check that various other dev-haskell/ ebuilds emerge ok using ghc-6.4.2. The haskell team are planning to do some more extensive testing on sparc, ppc & ppc64 in the next few days.

It's due to the fact that we're registering the package into a local package db before actually installing the files. That's why ghc-pkg is complaining that it can't find the files we're registering. We've been in discussion with upstream for some time on ways of improving this. > Noticed the following warning during compilation of dev-lang/ghc-bin-6.4.2: > > "RWX --- --- opt/ghc/bin/hasktags" > "RWX --- --- opt/ghc/bin/runghc" > "RWX --- --- opt/ghc/bin/runhaskell" > "RWX --- --- opt/ghc/lib/ghc-6.4.2/ghc-pkg.bin" > "RWX --- --- opt/ghc/lib/ghc-6.4.2/hsc2hs-bin" We built the .tbz2 file for ghc-bin back when the exec stack issues were only partially solved. You'll note that the source ghc ebuild doesn't produce any binarys with executable stacks now. So if it's ok with the x86 team we're happy for this to go in. If you're unhappy with it we could rebuild the ghc-bin .tbz2 for x86. We've also been submitting patches upstream to solve this properly.

Bootstrap from formerly compiled ghc 6.4.2 works and the textrel message disappears...but the pre-stripped files remain. dev-haskell/alex emerges For the test USE flag of ghc haddock is needed (see error messages above), but this is still marked testing.
(In reply to comment #3) > > > Notes for arch testers: x86 and amd64 have been fairly well tested by the > > haskell team. > > I don't believe you, so I did emerge it here myself...:) Wow, you chaps are thorough! :-) So the pre-stripping, that means that the ghc build system is doing this when it shouldnt right? We'll take a look at fixing that. (Note that C debugging sysmbols are almost totally useless for debugging ghc-compiled programs since it doesn't even use the C stack) For the GNU exec stact stuff, yeah, it seems that the essential progs are compiled by the newly bootstraped ghc and other non-critical utilities are built by the original host ghc. So if the host ghc (eg 6.4.1) was producing programs with executable stacks then we get that problem. That explains why it goes away when buildign ghc-6.4.2 with ghc-6.4.2. For cabal, yeah, lots of warnings. It's not the most mature software sadly. For the testsuite, it seems to want dev-lang/hugs98 (another haskell implementation) and dev-haskell/haddock. I suppose we should add a test USE flag to cabal too then. Will add haddock as a dep for ghc's test as you suggest. Thanks for the all QA work :-)
ok. so the GNU exec stact stuff does not hurt ppc64 as all programm are not fixed (glibc needs to be fixed first). conclusion: stable on ppc64
ppc stable
sparc stable.
Ok, I've added a patch to prevent the striping of the binaries. As for the Cabal test failures, we've had a look and even after installing hugs and haddock there are still a few. These are not Gentoo-spcific. The best we can do is bug upstream about it for the next release. I don't think that any of the failures are significat as we've not had any problems for the other ebuilds in the tree or our overlay that use this version of Cabal. We really ought to use this version of Cabal with ghc-6.4.2 (rather than a later version) because that is the version that comes bundled with upstream ghc-6.4.2 (but we've decided to use the seperately packed version). So that's the version users will expect to get upon emerging ghc (though of course it's ok for users to upgrade Cabal independantly of ghc). So is this ok to get ghc-6.4.2 and cabal-1.1.4 stable on x86 and amd64? Do you have any remaining concerns?
x86: Do you want another test?

With FEATURES="test" it doubles the time. But yes it does take a long time anyway. It's 1+1/2h on my amd64. The next major version of ghc will be more modular so the build time due to libs will be significantly reduced. > As "random tests" I emerged alex, buddha and frown afterwards. Cool. > All in all good to go on amd64. Yay.
Then amd64 is happy. Closing because we're the last arch.
HPPA !!1one
(In reply to comment #20) > HPPA !!1one Thanks for looking at this Jeroen. As for ghc-bin, we use this script: http://haskell.org/~gentoo/gentoo-haskell/build-ghc-bin.sh Though you may want to tweak the CFLAGS. I presume you would use some -mcpu flag for hppa 1.1 or 2 or whatever your lowest supported ABI is. Basically the package for ghc-bin is just a .tbz2 of the ghc ebuild as built by portage. Then it's renamed and uploaded to the mirrors and added to the ghc-bin ebuild.
See also bug 88362, comment #20 about building packages for ghc-bin.
HPPA done.
