2008-09-01 22:20:44 StefanPotyra ghc6: statusexplanation Hi, thanks for the bug report, confirming. As far as I've seen it right now, it looks though that the fix would change the ghc6 abi, so all libraries would need to rebuilt. Having entered feature freeze for intrepid already, I doubt we should go for the risk of doing a haskell transition before the release. Since there seems to be a possible workaround for darcs, do you think it would be sensible to use the workaround instead? (adding a darcs task hence). Cheers, Stefan.

If I remember correctly, there are packages which have hardcoded (build-)dependencies with some haskell-related packages, so package list could be longer than the actual. Debian didn't manage to move to 6.8.3 yet (in experimental neither), so this job would be all ours. Suppose a package wouldn't be transitioned for some reasons, are there known issues (package no longer functional, data loss, and so on) that can be worse than performance issues?
