Bug#719669: Please remove Haskell on s390x in testing
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Dear release team,
ghc has started to reproducible fail to build from source on s390x, due
to some kind of dead-locking of the runtime when lots of processes are
spawned (which happens more likely when compiling something large as
ghc). Upstream has been notified
http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7993
and we tried a few things ourselves, but could not find out the exact
cause, and clearly no fix.
This will hold up a possible migration of ghc to testing. To unblock
this I’d like the s390x Haskell packags in s390x to be removed. (If it
were a normal package, I’d just ask for removal in unstable, but due to
the self hosting nature of GHC this would make getting a fixed version
back into the archive much harder.)
I spare you the pasting of the long lists here; but the list of packages
to be removed should be
$ wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/source/Sources.bz2
$ bzcat Sources.bz2 |grep-dctrl -F Build-Depends ghc -s Package -n|sort
Greetings,
Joachim
