Hrm, originally I thought I was stuck with the version of cabal that
ghc ships with -- so even if I fixed cabal now, I would not be able to
benefit from it until ghc 6.6 or 6.4.3 made it into sid.
But now I realize cabal is currently a separate source package in
sid. Does anyone see a flaw in this plan:
(1) patch cabal to support building the profiling libs separately
from the non-profiling versions.
(2) patch dh_haskell to depend on the new libghc6-cabal-dev and use
the new feature.
(3) upload them both to sid
I am concerned because the upstream ghc source contains a version of
cabal. Can I count on the separately packaged cabal library to stay
around until my patch makes it into the ghc upstream source? Or will
libghc6-cabal-dev come from the ghc6 source package in 6.4.2+?
I would definately prefer to patch the cabal source now if it is
viable plan.
The Names Of Things
-------------------
In order to match the current flags I plan to implement these new
flags:
--enable-library-vanilla (default)
--disable-library-vanilla
--enable-executable-vanilla (default)
--disable-executable-vanilla
If someone has a better term than 'vanilla' I am happy to hear
it. Other ideas are, 'default', 'standard', 'plain' -- something that
describes what it *is* instead of what it is *not*.
I think 'non-profiling' is out because there other
(not-yet-implemented) flags such as,
--enable/disable-library-parallel
--enable/disable-library-bytecode
--enable/disable-library-native
ghc6-prof dependency?
---------------------
Also, should I make the the libghc6-*-prof debs depend on ghc6-prof?
It seems like the only time you would be able to compile against a
libghc6-*-prof package and *not* have ghc6-prof installed is if you
did not use *any* ghc libraries and you excluded the prelude?
Thanks!
