Hi Scott, I'm just a lowly non-debian-maintainer member, but I welcome you in our group. I see you are not yet in https://salsa.debian.org/groups/haskell-team/-/group_members but unfortunately it seems I'm not able to add you nor would I be able to guide you in package creation. Kind regards, Mikolaj
Thanks for the warm welcome, Mikolaj!Hopefully one of the members who control the Salsa access list can approve my request soon. I'm ready to get started contributing, especially with some packages that have to go to the NEW queue.
The packaging process looks fairly straight forward and the tooling looks very good. I do have a few questions, though.
1) Is the recommended version of cabal-debian the one that is currently packaged in unstable, or the upstream version from hackage? The Getting Started page seems to be a bit unclear on that as it suggests needing to build the version from git, but also shows a command line that installs the debian package.
2) It seems that when you update the version of a package, say haskell-foo from version 1.1 to 1.2, that packages's rdepends need to be rebuilt also - with a binNMU? Is there something making this happen automatically, or does it have to be done manually?
Thanks, Scott
