Hi, I am interested in getting involved with building .deb packages for ghc. My initial motivation is selfish; I want to learn about building debs so I can deploy some custom ghc packages at work. But I also hope to be able to use what I learn to contribute back to the ghc packages on ubuntu/debian.
I have been trying to find documentation for building ghc deb packages, but with no luck. All I have to work with right now is the haskell-devscripts package, but I haven't yet been able to get a successful build. It would be so helpful if anyone could provide a script that demonstrates how they perform their builds of ghc, or the configuration files for dpkg-buildpackage (the ones in the "debian" directory that gets created by dh_make), or point me to a webpage with any useful information. Thanks so much. - Philip
