Intend to package: GHC (glasgow haskell compiler).
Hello, all, I'm happy to express my wish to package GHC. I'm just doing it now and will soon send my application to become a Debian maintainer. I've contact GHC developer for licence issue again and now got answers from them (see below). Exact one will be later posted in haskell mailing list. OK, hold our breath. Cheers, Rui ---BeginMessage--- Rui We are hoping to offer a BSD-style license (minus the advertising clause) shortly, but I need the agreement of the University of Glasgow to do this. I hope to have that agreement soon, but I can't predict exactly when. I'll broadcast to the Haskell mailing list when this gets sorted out. Simon ---End Message---

With 64M of RAM and not too much else (X and ntpd) running you are looking at 1500+ garbage collections for about 1.5G of allocation. This file took 10-20 minutes on my machine. Just FYI, accidently I found at the GHC site that this file can cause trouble, there is memory leak. (see http://research.microsoft.com/users/t-simonm/ghc/download_ghc_402.html) Regards, Rui

In related note, according to unofficial information from Simon Peyton Jones (the primary author of GHC), the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC) will become free RSN. Currently GHC has no license. I've tried to bootstrap it but it is so big a beast that I'll probably let it pass. I hope someone else packages it when it becomes free. It is good news though it is only unofficial one. I've tried to build 4.02, it took me 4 hours on my K6-233 box and costed more than 100MB disk. I'd like to apply to become a Debian maintainer and package it, if no one want to take it.
