It would be fair, except that the time-package did not compile easily on Debian either :( I will try to look more into the issue this weekend. Maybe I could get the time-package maintainers to fix the issue. But a binary package could just use a version without the patch. This would be the easiest for people. > If not, we could conceivably have a ghc-6.6 branch without the patch. Is it really necessary to create a branch for that? Or maybe it is more trouble than I think. Could we not just ask people to un-record / revert the patch? It's two darcs commands. And they could just copy'paste them from the wiki. With respect to source bundles, I guess we could have two different ones. One for GHC-6.6 and one for GHC6.8. > I think 6.6 is pretty common (Ubuntu Gutsy uses it), although I > personally have given up on using the GHC that comes with my system, > and have just gone with whatever packages the GHC folks themselves > provide. > I would have thought Ubuntu were a lot more up-to date. But I must admit I was hoping for some configure-script magic. I have never edited configure-scripts before and are therefore quite ignorant of what is possible. Or how to do it.
