I'm not familiar with ghc, and what the regression potential is for getting a new compiler. Is there a chance that with the 7.0 -> 7.4 change (which sounds quite a large jump) a lot of the Haskell packages in the archive would fail to build due to syntactic changes, the compiler getting more strict, using different default options, linking behaviour, etc.? If that's not the case, then I have no objections.
However, please rather do this after feature freeze than right now. Our buildds already have a hard time with keeping up with all the changes that go into the distro right now due to FF rush, and the recent rebuild test is still not finished on armhf/amd64 yet as well. It might be nice if the rebuild could take place during a quiet period such as the beta-1 freeze. -- 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
