Hi, we are not uploading 7.0.3 yet, here is the rationale (I’m lazy, so just the IRC copy): <Laney> are you uploading 7.0.3? I guess not until the transition <Laney> ...is done <nomeata> Laney: oh, 7.0.3 is out? <Laney> yes <nomeata> they really need to announce that better, e.g. on the planet of h-cafe <nomeata> hmm, it does not really matter whether we do it now (and schedule a few binNMUs) or after the transition (and schedule binNMUs for all packages) <Laney> I suppose <Laney> one argument against 7.0.3 is that the platform specifies 7.0.2 <nomeata> oh, thats a good one <nomeata> then unless we find a very good reason for 7.0.3 (e.g. bad bug in 7.0.2), lets try to get 7.0.2 with the platform into testing first <nomeata> hehe <nomeata> good joke <Laney> :-) <nomeata> by the time we can migrate, I’m sure we have seen more than one further platform release <Laney> there's the -fvia-C thing which I was banging on about <nomeata> I wasn't following closely, sorry. <nomeata> “Some bad floating point results on x86 have been fixed.” sounds like it could be severe... <Laney> compiling via C is broken in some circumstances on at least amd64 <nomeata> otherwise http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.0.3/html/users_guide/release-7-0-3.html looks really not relevant for us <Laney> causing FTBFS <nomeata> so, -fvia-C is now completely unsupported? <nomeata> or only on arches where there is no native code generator? <Laney> it does nothing any more <Laney> I don't know what GHC itself does, but you can't get it from OPTIONS_GHC <nomeata> I guess we can then fix the .cabal files, and go with the platform version of ghc <Laney> right <Laney> just patch it out if you come across it <Laney> that's a valid approach * nomeata copies this to a mail to d-haskell, for reference. <Laney> it might be in source files too, not just .cabal (of course) Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nomeata@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: nomeata@joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
