Public bug reported: Hi there,
I know FF is just around the corner, so I want to know if other RT members think this is reasonable. I'd like to update GHC to the new major release that came out recently. Here are the release notes http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.4.1/html/users_guide/release-7-4-1.html You can see that there are some nice changes. In particular for Ubuntu I think the arm* improvements (using LLVM) are interesting. Now, GHC isn't the smallest of packages. It'll take a reasonably long time to build. And yes, you guessed it, there will be a full transition of all 430 source packages or so. Possibly luckily, sourceful rebuilds of all packages were required in Debian due to a haddock (arch:all documentation packages) ABI change, so we could do this through syncs. I'd also take the opportunity to pull in all NEW packages since we last synced up eariler in the cycle. iulian and I will manage this, but I realise that it's a significant burden on resources, so I just want to see if you think it's a good idea or not. Thoughts appreciated. Cheers. ** Affects: ghc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/932020 Title: 7.4 transition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ghc/+bug/932020/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
