Hi Joachim. Excerpts from Joachim Breitner's message of Sáb Out 02 11:05:32 -0300 2010: (...) > Marco, you recently worked on the -dev name consolidation, and thus know > about clean package renames. What modifications should be done to rename > the packages now? These should probably be implemented in > haskell-devscripts. The changes are in debian/control. Are you thinking of something reading debian/control.in and generating debian/control, to be runned by the maintainer? I think this is doable, using variables in the ghc6 part of the packages, and maybe in another part. About the rules for renaming packages, I was using the procedure described at [0], Method 2. 0: http://wiki.debian.org/Renaming_a_Package (...) > Speaking of sourceful uploads: Should we start building -dyn packages? Are the -dyn packages available for all architectures? (...) > If yes, should we use them in Haskell programs (xmonad, hlint, etc.)? > Pro: Smaller packages/binaries and shared code. Con: Binaries will have > to be binNMUed upon new uploads as well. I believe this is the way to go. We just have to think well about when is the right moment for the transition. Greetings.
