Description Lennart Kolmodin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-07-06 09:44:13 UTC
Please mark the following packages stable on x86 and amd64:

The compiler:
dev-lang/ghc-6.8.2

The build and packaging system:
dev-haskell/cabal-1.2.3.0

And the following libraries from dev-haskell/
alut-2.1.0.0
glut-2.1.1.1
hunit-1.2.0.0
openal-1.3.1.1
opengl-2.2.1.1
quickcheck-1.1.0.0
cgi-3001.1.5.1
fgl-5.4.1.1
haskell-src-1.0.1.1
html-1.0.1.1
mtl-1.1.0.0
network-2.1.0.0
parallel-1.0.0.0
parsec-2.1.0.0
regex-base-0.72.0.1
regex-compat-0.71.0.1
regex-posix-0.72.0.2
stm-2.1.1.0
time-1.1.2.0
xhtml-3000.0.2.1

This corresponds to the GHC 6.8.2 release, including the so called
'extralibs'.
We've been using this compiler version ~arched since December 2007, and it works well for at least the platforms mentioned above. Other arches will follow later.

Testing both USE="binary" and USE="-binary" is useful.
The single most important package depending on packages in this
stabilization is probably dev-util/darcs.
Comment 1 Markus Meier gentoo-dev 2008-07-06 12:58:20 UTC
dev-haskell/happy-1.17 seems to be missing in your list. (no clue if there are more, but portage complained about multiple versions pulled in of dev-haskell/cabal)
Comment 2 Lennart Kolmodin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-07-06 13:44:24 UTC
Oh, sure. Add that too to the list, please. It's the latest stable version available.

# emerge -1av darcs

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    ] dev-haskell/filepath-1.0  USE="-doc -profile" 0 kB 
[ebuild     UD] dev-lang/ghc-6.6.1 [6.8.2] USE="-bash-completion -binary* -doc* -ghcbootstrap" 0 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] dev-util/darcs-1.0.9  USE="-doc" 1,035 kB 

should we stabilize 1.1.0_pre1?
The rest looks good to go stable on amd64/x86, no problems found.

Excellent.
Yes, please stabilize darcs-1.1.0_pre1 too. It's the last released version in the 1.x series. Ebuilds for darcs-2.x will be committed shortly...
Comment 5 Lennart Kolmodin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-07-06 20:03:13 UTC
Could we please add dev-haskell/filepath-1.1.0.0 to the list too?
The currently most stable filepath is 1.0, which doesn't compile with ghc-6.8.2 without patching.
Comment 6 Markus Meier gentoo-dev 2008-07-06 20:59:30 UTC
amd64/x86 stable
Comment 7 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-07-14 20:51:33 UTC
I don't see any reason why hppa should have been excluded. :\
Comment 8 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-07-15 06:15:08 UTC
 # : Not really looked at right now, left alone.
 = : Stable for HPPA.

[Among the packages I didn't look at were some that had their keywords dropped. Again a major loss of a good body of work here...]

Comment 9 Ferris McCormick (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-10-04 00:52:56 UTC
Sparc is now stable for the listed versions of:
cabal
parsec
haskell-src
opengl
glut
openal
alut
quickcheck
hunit
html
mtl
network
fgl
xhtml
cgi
time
stm
parallel
regex-{base,posix, compat}

Note further that the regex-{base,posix,compat}-{0.93.1, 0.93.1, 0.91} versions are good on sparc, but are keyworded ~sparc awaiting further instructions.

I am leaving sparc on the CC in case I have missed anything or you need anything else.

Also, sparc stable for happy-1.17

Right. Wait with those, please. They are considered to be somewhat in testing state by some of the community. ~arch is good enough so far.

> Also, sparc stable for happy-1.17

Great, thanks.
