Re: Giving up haskell-src-exts on these architectures?



Dear release team,

as I did not receive any reply on this mail from the buildd admins:

I’m now asking you for a solution to haskell-src-exts on mips, mipsel,
armel, s390. A forcehint would help transitioning some packages
(especially haskell-dummy), a removal of the outdate binaries from
unstable would probably be the better solution.

(I’m wondering if it is really a problem to just request the removal
direclty from the ftp-team at this point – buildd admins were given
notice.)

Greetings,
Joachim
