basing that guess on the fact that copilot-theorem was rebuilt on
December 12:

Looking at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/haskell-copilot/3.12-1 (the
parent of all copilot packages), I see that ti's been built
successfully in all architectures. Nothing stands out, but I'm no
expert.
Something seems to have happened in the last day or so. I just
installed Lunar in a throwaway VM and sure enough, copilot is there
and installable!
Wow!!! That's amazing! I'm very happy. Thanks!
@Gianfranco, is Ubuntu in the middle of a Haskell transition?
Hi Gianfranco,
I just wanted to follow up on this. Have you had a chance to check this?
For info: We'll publish a new version of Copilot in a week (3.13).
The next one after that (3.14) will come out after the deadlines for
the 'Feature freeze' and 'Debian import' for Ubuntu 23.04. If we need
to change Copilot to get it accepted in Lunar, please let us know.
If you want to get 3.14 into Lunar via Debian, then yeah, it will need
to happen before the Debian Import Freeze. Also, the Debian Bookworm
soft freeze starts on 2023-02-12, so it should probably be before then
too, as the soft freeze is supposed to only have "small, targeted fixes."
Good to know.
Only 3.13 will probably make it, then. Copilot is released on a fixed
schedule. 3.14 is scheduled for March 7. It will only contain bug fixes,
more tests, and remove deprecated functions, but that may be more than
what Debian considers a "small, targeted fix".
All the best,
Ivan
