Public bug reported: Ubuntu already has several GHC6 libraries packaged, e.g. libghc6-fgl- dev, libghc6-hunit-dev, libghc6-mtl-dev, etc. One that is missing is STM (Software Transactional Memory), which is a fairly-official GHC6 library like the others mentioned. Debian has a virtual package for it (http://packages.debian.org/etch/libghc6-stm-dev). I think that's for when the libraries used to be bundled with GHC 6.6, but now that we're on GHC 6.8 (in Hardy, at least), the libraries are separate and Ubuntu doesn't have a corresponding package. It would be great if STM could be added alongside all the other similar Haskell libraries -- hopefully it isn't too much trouble.
The STM package can be found in Hackage, BSD3 licence: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/stm Thanks. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: needs-packaging ** Tags added: needs-packaging -- [needs-packaging] GHC6 STM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218571 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
