thanks!
But I have pretty good automation in mass-build and mass-change in our
tools repo, so I plan to just build everything at once and upload at
once, without doing upgrades. Easiest and lowest friction.
Also, I think we want the migration to unstable settle first (i.e. build
everywhere) and ideally migrate to testing before we start further
version upgrades, at least if they affect multiple packages (e.g.
yesod).
Just for reference (and to apply these to packages that I might have
missed), these are the mass-change-commands that I have been running:
mass-change.sh 'Enable compat level 9' "echo 9 > compat; sed -i 's/debhelper (>= [0-9\.]\+)/debhelper (>= 9)/' control" *
mass-change.sh 'Bump standards version to 3.9.4' "sed -i 's/Standards-Version:.*/Standards-Version: 3.9.4/' control" *
mass-change.sh 'Use substvars for Haskell description blurbs' "sed -i 's/haskell-devscripts (>= [0-9.]\+)/haskell-devscripts (>= 0.8.15)/' control; perl -i -p -e '"'BEGIN {undef $/}; s/This package provides ((the )?documentation for )?a library (written in|for) the Haskell.*?on\s+Haskell./\${haskell:Blurb}/sg; s/Description: ([^\$]*?)(; .*?)?$/Description: $1\${haskell:ShortBlurb}/gms'"' control " $(grep -l 'for more information on Haskell' */control|cut -d/ -f1) | tee /tmp/mass-change5
mass-change.sh 'Use substvars for Haskell description blurbs' "sed -i 's/haskell-devscripts (>= [0-9.]\+)/haskell-devscripts (>= 0.8.15)/' control; perl -i -p -e '"'BEGIN {undef $/}; s/This package contains the libraries compiled for GHC./\${haskell:Blurb}/sg; s/This package contains the profiling libraries compiled for GHC./\${haskell:Blurb}/sg; s/This package contains the library documentation./\${haskell:Blurb}/sg; s/Description: ([^\$]*?)(; .*?| - GHC .*?| - documentation)?$/Description: $1\${haskell:ShortBlurb}/gms'"' control " $(grep -l 'This package contains the library documentation.' */control|cut -d/ -f1)
Lots of darcs patches to appear on pkg-haskell-commits in a moment, and
then I’ll start rebuilding (ghc is already building) and uploading.
What is always helpful is to watch
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=pkg-haskell-maintainers%40lists.alioth.debian.org&suite=sid&compact=compact&a=amd64,armel,armhf,hurd-i386,i386,kfreebsd-amd64,kfreebsd-i386,mips,mipsel,powerpc,s390,s390x,sparc
for build failures and fix these.
Greetings,
Joachim
