We (the Debian Haskell team) would like to start the transition to
update GHC to version 9.10.3. GHC has already been updated/tested in
experimental and seems to work.
As part of this transition, we need to update ~350 packages to a newer
version, and do a sourceful upload for the rest of the Haskell libraries
(~1000 packages).
Please go ahead.
The transition is now on it's way for a month. Can we have a brief status
update please? Are things still going smooth? Unforeseen trouble? Actions
needed from our side?
We're about 77% complete. Things are going mostly smooth, although this
transition has been slowed a bit by having to investigate/fix GHC bugs,
investigate/fix new buildsystem issues (dh-haskell/haskell-devscripts),
fix reproducibility issues, and wait for NEW package processing. At the
moment, progress is mostly stalled due to having to wait for NEW
processing (new build depends for packages).
As for anything the Release Team can do, probably not unless you can speed
up NEW processing. :) We do periodically ask on IRC, but I feel bad
about bugging the new team while they're still getting organized.
Ilias, anything else to add?
Regards,
Scott
