Sorry for not replying to this earlier! I have had a hardware failure in my home workstation where I do all my Ubuntu testing/development. It took some time, but now I have gotten it into a somewhat usable state. :-) On Sunday 05 October 2008 12.56.59 StefanPotyra wrote: Ok, libghc6-utf8-string-dev is only used by geordi in build-depends apart from that after a quick search. geordi builds fine in a pbuilder with the new libghc6-utf8-string-dev and haskell-devscripts. After installation geordi segfault on startup. However the version from intrepids repositories behaves in the exact same way, so I don't think this have anything to do with the utf8-string package. I just rebuilt haskell-devscripts, haskell-utf8-string and geordi, and looks all good. Also from looking at the diff of haskell-utf8-string, the code changes don't look too invasive to me. I reviewed the changes in both packages earlier, and don't really have anything to add. Both looks quite safe. As I mentioned before I have also built all the mentioned packages, and been using the resulting xmonad + contrib since then.

I think you missed that haskell-utf8-string only is the name of the source package. It is at version 0.3.1-1 in intrepid and builds the following binary packages: libghc6-utf8-string-doc libghc6-utf8-string-dev The version in Debian is 0.3.1.1-2 and in addition to the above it also builds: libghc6-utf8-string-prof The -prof package is needed by xmonad-contrib as it builds a libghc6-xmonad- contrib-prof package.

Binary package hint: xmonad

+ UPDATE: 2008-10-03
+ Changed Summary to request xmonad 0.8-1, xmonad-contrib 0.8-2 as contrib -2
was uploaded to Debian yesterday with a small fix for Debian bug #500833. See
comments on this bug for details.
Hi,
I hereby request a FFE to sync the following two source packages from
Debian unstable to Intrepid:
xmonad 0.8-1
xmonad-contrib 0.8-1
I know this is very late in the release cycle, but I still think this
would make sense. I also hope that it is OK to use a single bug for
two source packages like this, the packages only makes sense together.
Reasons for a FFE:
* 0.8 is the latest stable version, released 2008-09-05.
* xmonad have good release management and is very stable.
* 0.8 brings have several nice fixes and features, and it would be
very nice to not have this in intrepid.
* xmonad{,-contrib} is small and self contained with no rdepends on
any other packages.
* xmonad{,-contrib} 0.8-1 is in Debian unstable. The source packages
builds in an intrepid pbuilder and the resulting packages works.
* Only two outstanding bugs in Debian.
* 484091 - minor request for changed handling of .xsession-files
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=484091
* 500833 - Request is to compile -contrib with utf8 support
(--flags=with_utf8). This is a bigger issue, but at least not a
regression as utf8 is disabled in the current 0.7 packages as
well.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=500833
The lack of rdepends, and state of the packages in Debian makes me
think this FFE would be quite safe even this late in the Intrepid
release cycle. It will only affect xmonad users most likely make them
happy!
Required files for FFE:
diffstats, pbuilder logs and install logs is attached.
Changelogs:
The tarball does not include a normal changelog. I think The
headlines part from the release announcement is good:
The headlines:
* A general purpose replacement for gaps has been adopted.
* Floating windows pop up on the current screen by default
* Locale support
* Rock solid code: No new crash-inducing bugs reported in this
release cycle
* Many new extensions, including the ability to write your own
configuration parsers.
* The 1000th commit was made to the project
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2008-September/047114.html
A more detailed changelog is available on the haskell wiki:
http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Notable_changes_since_0.7
Testing:
I have been using my packages a few days now. I have not tested all
the 100+ extensions that is available in xmonad-contrib, but the
ones that I use work as expected. The new ManageDocks feature is
also working fine.
Please let me know if this FFE request is missing any neccessary
information.
Cheers,

Yeah, I assumed that I would have to get another +1 for you or somebody else again after testing -2. :-) Should I have changed the bug status myself? Just so I know the correct work flow for next time.

This means that if we don't wan't to change the build-dep a sync of haskell-devscripts 0.6.13 from Debian lenny would also be needed. 0.6.13 change two things. It bumps Standards-Version and fixes FTBFS bugs by replacing one call of ghc-pkg with ghc-pkg6. The second fix makes me think we want this version in Ubuntu anyway. * haskell-devscripts 0.6.13 builds fine in an intrepid pbuilder. * haskell-uft8-string 0.3.1.1-2 then builds fine in the pbuilder. * xmonad-contrib 0.8-2 then (finally!) builds fine in the pbuilder.

Also I'd like to know exactly about any problems with our current haskell-devscripts in regards to upgrade pathes). If you think this might be a possible solution, then how should I proceed.
