Hi release team, haskell libraries have the unfortunate requirement to need exactly the version of dependencies installed that they were built against. So binary dependencies are fixed (==) to the version that was installed during installation.
Currently, we also fix the build-dependencies, to keep the packages in sync across different arches, and do sourceful uploads of all depending package when we upgrade a library. I don’t like this situation, and I’m wondering if we could not do binNMUs to keep the packages in sync. I’m also guessing that not having strict build-dependencies might make work easier for releasing or security updates, but that’s just guesswork on my side :-) So my question to you is: Would it be acceptable if there were regular binNMU requests for haskell libraries? I assume we can format them in any format you like and need to make this effort as little as possible for you. Thanks, Joachim PS: Please answer to both lists, I’m only subscribed to one. -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
