Hi Isaac and others.
As you already know a new upstream version of hugs98 is available for
some time now. I have been busy updating the package and think my work
is ready for an upload. But before I do that I want to make sure the
choices made in the packaging are consistent with your expectations.
Upstream ships a debian dir on which I have based the packaging. This
means that hugs binary package is split in the hugs binary package and
a set of libhugs-LIBRARY-bundled packages. I think this is a good idea
and we should go with this.
This also means the libhugs-LIBRARY-bundled packages can then
gradually be replaced with libhugs-LIBRARY packages built from the
same source as the libghc-LIBRARY-dev packages for GHC. As said by Ian
on IRC:
01:22 <Igloo> Just reading the hugs talk in #393599, if the split is
into libraries then ideally they would get built from
the haskell-*extralibs packages that ghc6 uses.
I plan to look into this post-etch
01:23 <Igloo> Libraries GHC ships with will have to be packaged just
for hugs
I have added all the libhugs-LIBRARY-bundled packages to the
Recommends of hugs so aptitude and synaptic will install all the
libraries the user expects by default.
I have dropped the libhugs-glut-bundled package as it does not build
and the glut library never has been build succesfully with the Debian
hugs package.
The currect version of my packaging is available from my personal
repository [1] and I would ask anyone who is interested to check the
package. The source package can most easily be retrieved by doing
dget
