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 - -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.10-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlILNIcACgkQ9ijrk0dDIGygcwCeKGCpNbadasSHsfH9QH2ZOaIb 0a4AoMvHQq+XvWfBxz7TWOGhNAWr5NXC =v8lv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
