Description Lennart Kolmodin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-12 21:13:21 UTC
Hi,

we of the haskell team are in the process of adding a new version of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler into the tree, version 6.6. There as been a major restructure of haskell libraries; many of the libraries are no longer bundled with the compiler, and will now be represented as individual packages in the tree.

To model that behaviour we have created dummy libraries, that fits ghc-6.4, and soon we'll add real libraries that fits ghc-6.6.

An important thing to note here is that these libs we ask to get stabilized doesn't install anything. The functionallity is already provided by ghc-6.4.

You can read more about our plan to move ghc-6.6 into portage here:
http://www.haskell.org/~gentoo/gentoo-haskell/projects/GHC-6.6-launch.html

What we need is to get these packages marked as ~arch or arch for the various arches that ghc supports.

I'm posting this as one request, as it is the same for all packages.
The packages in question:

dev-haskell/fgl-5.2
dev-haskell/mtl-1.0
dev-haskell/haskell-src-1.0
dev-haskell/html-1.0
dev-haskell/hunit-1.1
dev-haskell/network-1.0
dev-haskell/quickcheck-1.0

This is what we request of each arch team:
We'd like all arches get the same masking as ghc-6.4* has, ie:
Mark the above libraries as ~arch in these arches:

alpha
ia64
x86-fbsd

and stable in these arches:

amd64
hppa
ppc
ppc64
sparc
x86

We're aware of that these packages just went into portage and it normally takes 30 days. We've already tested them with x86 and amd64 and found that they work fine. Once you've checked that you're happy with them, please consider making them stable a bit sooner than usual.
If you disagree, you're welcome back to this bug in 30 days. :)

Thanks a bunch!

sparc done.
Comment 3 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-15 02:21:50 UTC
Stable for HPPA.
Comment 4 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-15 17:31:02 UTC
ppc64 stable
Comment 5 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-26 13:39:06 UTC
~ia64 done.
Comment 6 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-27 13:32:21 UTC
Marked ppc stable.
Comment 7 Peter Weller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-27 20:37:23 UTC
amd64 done, will take a look at ~x86-fbsd keywording tomorrow
Comment 8 Peter Weller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-01 20:45:17 UTC
~x86-fbsd all finished :)
Reassigning to alpha as they're the only arch left...
Comment 9 Bryan Østergaard (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-02 20:36:26 UTC
Added ~alpha keywords.
