Hi,

I’ve just uploaded a new build of xmonad to make sure the
build-dependencies match the ones in the archive.

I’m wondering if this strictness (setting the build-dependencies on
haskell modules exactly to the version currently installed) is really
needed. The policy only mentions it is used to keep the architectures in
sync, but I don’t really understand the problem this is fixing. I’m also
wondering if we can’t keep the archives in sync using binNMUs.

I would think it saves us some work this way. It’s also nicer to our
users who try to re-build a certain package on their local machine,
without having the very exact build-dependencies installed.

I’m probably missing some point here, but I’d like to learn about it.

Thanks,
Joachim
