Dear alpha and mipsel buildd admins, haskell-src-exists is quite a beast to build. In previous versions, a bug in the compiler could cause the build to enter a permanent loop while building large programs on slower architectures (fork() constantly interrupted by a timer and restarted). In version 1.9.0-2, this has been worked around, and it helped at least on hppa. I’m therefore in good hope that any remaining build timeouts are caused by a too low timeout and the package would build given more time. For alpha, I observed that 1.9.0-1 finished probably just seconds before the timeout of 150 minutes while 1.9.0-2 was almost finished by that time. A moderately higher time out would help here. For mipsel, the build would probably take quite a while longer, but should still finish eventually. Maybe it is starting to swap heavily? If you think that building haskell-src-exts is too much of a burden for your architecture and too little use for your users, that is ok with me as well. In that case, please put it in not-for-us (or P-A-S, not sure which one) and tell us so, so we can remove existing outdated builds that would otherwise hinder the testing migration.
