Source: ghc Version: 8.8.4-1 Severity: minor Tags: patch Hi,
a while ago, Adrian made ghc barely cross buildable. It still builds something quite different from the regular ghc package, but it crosses and the crossed thing seems to be able to build a native ghc. One aspect that didnd't work out at all back then was the dependency on haskell-devscripts-minimal. We told him, that no, we cannot mark it Multi-Arch: foreign and we haven't moved forward on that aspect yet. Therefore Adrian annotatd it "<!cross>". cross builds now need to supply some haskell-devscripts-minimal to work. What changed since then is that the apt and dpkg now allow annotating Architecture: all packages with ":native". I think doing so is a better workaround than "<!cross>". It's a drop in the bucket. Can you apply it anyway? Helmut
