2006-08-28 12:05:23 StefanPotyra description Binary package hint: ghc6 The current Dapper version of ghc6 (6.4.1) has some annoyances related to package handling - e.g. building cabalized libraries with profiling doesn't work. Currently, this means that I must manually install new versions of Cabal and central libraries to get an adequate system. I believe 6.4.2 fixes this and many other issues, while being very backwards compatible. Thus, although for myself I'll probably switch to Edgy when it stabilizes, I think it would be a good idea to have 6.4.2 available for Dapper as well.

Attention: backporting ghc6 will render library packages uninstallable.

2006-09-01 08:28:16 StefanPotyra ghc6: statusexplanation Hi, I'm rejecting this bug now, since I don't see a way how to backport gch6 without breaking the library packages. Feel free to reopen if you have a good suggestion how to do it. Cheers, Stefan.
