This used to be in Debian some time ago, because I remember trying to work on the package for some reason. I believe that it is self-hosting[0], which may be a problem, except that it supposedly comes with a C version of the compiler as well. To make life easy for porters, I'd request that you always build the C compiler and then, if you want to, bootstrap the Mercury compiler from that. If I'm remembering incorrectly, or that's no longer the case, feel free to disregard this. [0] That is, the compiler is written in Mercury. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 713 440 7475 | http://crustytoothpaste.ath.cx/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
