-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear release team, we (the Debian Haskell Group) has been working hard to get everything in order for GHC 7.8 to migrate to testing (and top open the way for 7.10 in unstable :-)). We have had regular status reports on the haskell mailing list. Now we are getting close enough for the migration to happen that I believe we should include you in status updates and notifications, and also because you can probably help. Please CC debian-hask...@lists.debian.org in mails to this bug, to keep everyone up-to-date. - From what I can tell, there are these blockers: * Packages in NEW Mostly gitit, which has an added binary file: https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/gitit_0.10.7-1.html The other two haskell packages in NEW do not seem to be testing relevant, so this is looking good. * Package removals There are a large number of Haskell package removales scheduled for unstable, but most of them are stalled, as there are still old binaries and sources depending on these packages. This is mostly due to sparc not keeping up, which is mostly due to nettle not building there: http://bugs.debian.org/789013 I’m not sure what to best do here. Since sparc is not a release architecture, this should not hold up the release, but technically it does. Maybe the removals can be added as hints to britney? Will that interact properly with the auto-hinter? * leksah Despite multiple calls on the mailing list, no contributor was willing and able to fix that package in reasonable time. I suggest you remove haskell-leksah and haskell-leksah-server from testing (on the grounds that the maintenance situation makes it not suitable for a Debian stable release). This should unblock this situation. * shake not building on powerpc This is a weird issue: https://lists.debian.org/debian-haskell/2015/06/msg00043.html As this is an almost leave package, I suggest to remove haskell-shake and haskell-hoogle on powerpc for now, and hence disentangle this problem from the transition. I’m still looking for volunteers to investigate this issue. * Other out of date packages, mostly mips and mipsel I keep watching https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/haskell.html and I believe most problems are solved there. When today's upload and binNMUs have built everywhere there might be a package or two which no longer build on mips/mipsel (due to lack of TemplateHaskell support) and can be solved by a removal on these architectures. * Some packages need to age As usual. Is there a way for you, or better, me, to see if this list is exhaustive? Some kind of „what if when“ britney run where I can feed some removals and age-override hints and see what the auto-hinter+britney does?
