Hi, in the darcs repository, we now have a packaging of ghc, including dummy package to ease the transition from ghc6 to ghc. The package is not really tested, but should build and run. I was about to upload it to experimental, but the build, after taking long, failed at the very end due to a syntax error in debian/control. The error is fixed, but I don’t want to wait that long again. If any other DD feels like burning some cycles, you are welcome to build and upload _to experimental_. The earlier, the better, because we’d have to wait until we have passed NEW before we can continue other work. Marco started to work on adjusting haskell-devscripts to the new names of the binaries. Someone should go through the list of bugs against ghc6 and see if which are still valid against ghc and add an appropriate note. Aaron, Rafael, this is something where newcomers can show what they got :-) Also, someone should check whether upgrading from ghc6 to ghc-7 leaves any unwanted files lying around.
