manpower/time is the only constraint at the moment. Usually with a new
ghc version, binNMUs can take care of that (and we just saw that for the
portion of packages already renamed: I uploaded ghc-7.0.3 today and
scheduled binNMUs, and thanks to edos-debcheck, hash-based dependencies
and now autosigning, i386 is almost done recompiling them). But because
we have to change the package names, we need to do sourceful uploads of
all haskell libraries. And for that they have to be manually build, in
the right order etc...
Also the packages have to go through NEW, but that is sufficient quick,
as the ftp-masters are aware of the transition.
Usually there are more active people in the DHG, but it seems we have
hit an unfortunate point, with basically only me doing uploads. I’m
doing a few every day but it is tedious, de-motivating and
time-consuming.
If we had source-only uploads, I could just automatically prepare the
source pages with only the renaming and no other change, upload all at
once and leave it to wanna-build to sort out the build order. This would
speed up the process considerably, but I guess we are not there yet.
The package are shown as unknown because the script looks at the old
binary packages, for neither of the good/bad predicates hold. So here,
unknown = bad. If you would like a neater view, you can change the
predicates as follows (If the regex anchors work as intended.):
* Affected: .build-depends ~ /ghc6?/
* Good: .build-depends ~ /^ghc$/
* Bad: .build-depends ~ /^ghc$/
Is there more information that you need?
Greetings,
Joachim
