Binary package hint: ghc6

LP build log: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11902091/buildlog_ubuntu-hardy-sparc.ghc6_6.8.2-1ubuntu1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

strange enough, the build was killed...

currently trying on spooky (TI UltraSparc II (BlackBird)), currently at the same positions (build duration on that box some 20 hours to now, still building).

hm... seems to have a different position (the output is confusingly similar)... still building (>= 24 hours) now and making progress.

Perhaps asking the buildd admins to increase the timeout for ghc6 on sparc helps if your test build succeeds.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

hm... still building... *g*.

Yes, asking infinity is on my TODO list:

<sistpoty> lamont: oh... any chance, to increase that timeout? (it does some heavy ghc6 -> c-file -> gcc things, which really
take a long time for gcc to be done with one file (at least on the test box I'm using right now)
<lamont> sistpoty: yes.. poke infinity on mondya

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

Yep, the build just finished, seems like there are no other problems beside it being killed prematurely.

For the record, there is one ghc6->gcc call, where gcc took about 800 minutes to complete (w.o. producing output) on spooky.

Thanks, Adam!
