Hi Lukas, > I'm going to re-enable i586 builds for a bunch of ghc packages, > with the goal of building git-annex for i585 again. the Haskell compiler GHC does not support i586 -- it has a code generator only for i686. This means that we cannot rely on those binaries actually working on a i586 CPU. Therefore, this is not a configuration I'd be willing to support. Best regards, Peter

RESEND: Re-enabling haskell i586 builds
by Lukas Straub 29 Nov '22

29 Nov '22

Hello Everyone, I'm going to re-enable i586 builds for a bunch of ghc packages, with the goal of building git-annex for i585 again. While this will be actually i686 builds, I think it is fine since there are other i686 packages already in "i586" thumbleweed (like qtwebengine). Regards, Lukas Straub --

[opensuse-haskell] devel:languages:haskell switched to ghc-8.6.1
by Peter Simons 18 Oct '18

18 Oct '18

Fellow Haskell Hackers, the development project for Factory, devel:languages:haskell, has now switched to ghc-8.6.1. We mirror the contents into that project from devel:languages:haskell:ghc-8.6.x once every 24 hours. I'll now begin submitting these updates to Factory, too, so expect the new compiler to show up in Tumbleweed any time soon. :-) Best regards, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-haskell+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-haskell+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-haskell] GHC 8.4.1 is out
by Peter Simons 13 Mar '18

13 Mar '18

Hi folks, just a quick heads-up that GHC 8.4.1 has been released and it brings many nice improvements (as well as a few API-breaking changes). It would be pretty nice to have a working build for that compiler in devel:languages:haskell:lts:next. I could then populate the project with packages from Stackage-Nightly, which is probably going to switch to the 8.4.x version soon.

[opensuse-haskell] GHC 8.2.2 breaks "next"
by Peter Simons 16 Dec '17

16 Dec '17

Hi, the recent update to GHC 8.2.2 broke *all* builds in: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:languages:haskell:lts:next It seems like we'll need ghc-rpm-macros update to remedy that issue? Does anyone know what this is about? Best regards, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-haskell+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-haskell+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-haskell] LTS 9.x has landed in Factory
by Peter Simons 31 Aug '17

Hi, just a quick heads-up: openSUSE:Factory has accepted some ~500 package updates. This means that the next Tumbleweed snapshot will come with LTS-9.

[opensuse-haskell] How do we handle these mass-updates in devel:languages:haskell?
by Peter Simons 30 Jul '17

30 Jul '17

Hi folks, we have a 3 large updates waiting in devel:languages:haskell that have to be submitted to Factory, and I'd like to figure out how to do this best: (1) Current versions of spec-cleaner change every single spec file in devel:languages:haskell, causing 2000+ trivial updates of all Haskell packages in Factory. (2) Switching from LTS 8.x to 9.x has brought 413 version updates that ought to go to Factory. (3) There is an ongoing poll to change spec-cleaner's spelling of "Url" to "URL", which would cause yet another full update with 2000+ re-submissions to Factory. Whether this actually happens or not won't be known until 2017-08-14. Now, I can think of the following strategies for dealing with this situation: (a) Batch all these changes into one bulk submission. That gives us the minimal number of SRs, but it also means that we cannot submit any version updates from (2) before August 14th, because only then we'll know whether (3) is going to happen or not. (b) Submit (2) now, but submit (1) and (3) only after August 14th. This strategy gives us a quick Factory update to LTS 9.x, but it comes at the price of ~500 "extra" submission requests. (c) Submit (1) and (2) now, and deal with (3) only after if actually happens. If the change in (3) does not materialize, then this gives us a perfect outcome: fast update without avoidable SRs, but if (3) does happen, then we'll have ~2000 "extra" submission requests. What is your take on the respective pros and cons and which approach should be use? Is there another alternative I did not consider?

[opensuse-haskell] State of Affairs after week 2017.30
by Peter Simons 29 Jul '17

29 Jul '17

Hi folks, a lot of things have happened this week. First of all, ghc-8.2.1 was released and found its way into devel:languages:haskell:lts:next, where it's building approx. 2000 packages successfully already. My guess is that it will take at least 2-3 months until we see that compiler anywhere near Factory, though, since there is no Stackage package set yet that's based on ghc-8.2.1. The Nightly package set will switch over soon, but even then it will take weeks until that's stable enough to branch off lts-10. Meanwhile, users who wish to play with ghc-8.2.1 can use the devel:languages:haskell:lts:next repository and combine it with local builds of missing packages via cabal-install or stack to set up a working environment for that compiler. Furthermore, lts-9 was released -- still based on ghc-8.0.2 -- and we have created devel:languages:haskell:lts:9 for it. Note that this project is just a staging area for devel:languages:haskell -- our devel project for Factory. devel:languages:haskell has been switched over to lts-9 already and will now receive automatic updates every night. There is a handful of packages that no longer compiles after the update to lts-9. I've notified the upstream authors and asked for their help fixing these issues. Just check out the list of failing builds in the devel:languages:haskell project to the see the exact list of packages I'm referring to. Finally, we have a new version of spec-cleaner that -- once deployed -- is going to modify every single Haskell package, because the it removes the "BuildRoot" attribute and the "%defattr" macro from all spec files. So, after updating to the new version we'll have to submit all those modified packages to Factory somehow, which kinda sucks since the changes are purely cosmetic. I've talked to Darix and apparently he has come up with a way to mass-approve our bulk-submission when it occurs; we just need to coordinate with him before doing the update. There are still a few open questions about the procedure we should use to pull this off, but I'll write another e-mail about with more details soon.

[opensuse-haskell] LTS 9.0 is out and it's still based on GHC 8.0.2
by Peter Simons 27 Jul '17

27 Jul '17

Hi folks, LTS-9.0 was released last night and curiously enough it's still based on GHC 8.0.2, like LTS-8. I hadn't expected that, but, well, I suppose the Stackage team had their reasons. I created https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:languages:haskell:lts:9 and set up the updating process. Assuming that the new package set doesn't cause any trouble -- and I don't expect it will since it does not include the new compiler --, I'll soon switch the mirroring scripts to update devel:languages:haskell (and therefore Factory) from lts-9 rather than lts-8. Now, the big question is what do we do about Leap? Shall we update Leap to lts-9, too, or should Leap continue to track lts-8, which is surely going to receive further updates for a while?

[opensuse-haskell] GHC 8.2.1 is out
by Peter Simons 26 Jul '17

26 Jul '17

Hi folks, GHC version 8.2.1 has been released: https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_8_2_1.html I suppose it will take 2-3 months until Stackage creates LTS-9.0, so we're in no hurry to update our package set. It would be nice, however, to have the compiler available in https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:haskell:lts:next/ghc ..., because that is the first release to ship with Cabal 2.x and it's going to be interesting to see what effect that'll have on our build system. Is anyone working in an updated spec file for that version? ptrommer, maybe?
