Package: lintian Version: 2.5.30+deb8u2 Severity: important -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Hi, I just tried to upload a Haskell package built with ghc-7.8, but it was rejected: libghc-mtl-dev: lintian output: 'binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath usr/lib/haskell-packages/ghc/lib/x86_64-linux-ghc-7.8.3/mtl-2.1.3.1/libHSmtl-2.1.3.1-ghc7.8.3.so /usr/lib/ghc/ghc-prim-0.3.1.0', automatically rejected package. libghc-mtl-dev: If you have a good reason, you may override this lintian tag. libghc-mtl-dev: lintian output: 'binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath usr/lib/haskell-packages/ghc/lib/x86_64-linux-ghc-7.8.3/mtl-2.1.3.1/libHSmtl-2.1.3.1-ghc7.8.3.so /usr/lib/ghc/integer-gmp-0.5.1.0', automatically rejected package. libghc-mtl-dev: If you have a good reason, you may override this lintian tag. libghc-mtl-dev: lintian output: 'binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath usr/lib/haskell-packages/ghc/lib/x86_64-linux-ghc-7.8.3/mtl-2.1.3.1/libHSmtl-2.1.3.1-ghc7.8.3.so /usr/lib/ghc/transformers-0.3.0.0', automatically rejected package. libghc-mtl-dev: If you have a good reason, you may override this lintian tag. libghc-mtl-dev: lintian output: 'binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath usr/lib/haskell-packages/ghc/lib/x86_64-linux-ghc-7.8.3/mtl-2.1.3.1/libHSmtl-2.1.3.1-ghc7.8.3.so /usr/lib/ghc/base-4.7.0.1', automatically rejected package. libghc-mtl-dev: If you have a good reason, you may override this lintian tag. libghc-mtl-dev: lintian output: 'binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath usr/lib/haskell-packages/ghc/lib/x86_64-linux-ghc-7.8.3/mtl-2.1.3.1/libHSmtl-2.1.3.1-ghc7.8.3.so /usr/lib/ghc/rts-1.0', automatically rejected package. libghc-mtl-dev: If you have a good reason, you may override this lintian tag. GHC-7.8 (in experimental) started to also create shared libraries, but these live in private paths, so it uses rpath allow the linker to find them. It seems to me that this is a valid use of rpath. I could start to create override files and add them to ~700 packages, but it seems to make more sense to make lintian aware of this use, and do not report this error for rpaths pointing to something in /usr/lib/ghc/. I mark this as important as it prevents us from uploading further Haskell packages to experimental (at least without temporary work-arounds).
