Bug#850915: ghc: Please switch to llvm 3.8 or, better, 3.9
Hello Now that we shipped strech, I really would like to see llvm 3.7 removed. Can we go ahead now ? Thanks S ___ Pkg-haskell-maintainers mailing list Pkg-haskell-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-haskell-maintainers
Bug#850915: ghc: Please switch to llvm 3.8 or, better, 3.9
Hello, >Now that we shipped strech, I really would like to see llvm 3.7 removed. >Can we go ahead now ? as said, with ghc 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 this seems a little impossible, but as Clint said on debian-haskell >> last thing: should we switch llvm? wrt #850915 >I think the GHC 8.2 release candidates are targeting LLVM 4.0. so for Buster we will probably ship 8.2 or something even newer. But for now, I don't think such change is worth the effort, specially because it will probably introduce bugs because this will be an untested configuration. I really hope with 8.2 to make this one disappear :) (I guess it will be released in some months) G. ___ Pkg-haskell-maintainers mailing list Pkg-haskell-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-haskell-maintainers
Bug#850915: ghc: Please switch to llvm 3.8 or, better, 3.9
Source: ghc Severity: important Hello, The armel build issue on 3.8 and 3.9 has been fixed thanks to a fix in libstdc++. ghc can now change llvm version. This is the last package using llvm 3.7, blocking its removal. (note that I stopped caring about 3.7 more than a year ago, it is far behing 3.8 or 3.9 in term of maintenance/support).

Probably need to backport this upstream commit: https://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/commitdiff/672314cbeb8ac386a58f17dc4650dbdf4c55d8b5 Cheers, Emilio ___ Pkg-haskell-maintainers mailing list Pkg-haskell-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-haskell-maintainers

Upstream can fix bugs when llvm 3.7 is used, now when we diverge in such important key packages. (this is a sum of the discussion I recall right now, I can search irc logs if needed) G. ___ Pkg-haskell-maintainers mailing list Pkg-haskell-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-haskell-maintainers

I also uploaded ghc 8.4 that uses llvm 5.0, so maybe we will move forward in a few weeks with this one. For llvm 6.0, I'm sorry but it won't be probably be a real plan for one year or so... I hope this is enough for now, I see 3.8,3.9 are blocked by other reverse-dependencies and 5.0 is fairly new now. Let me know, or close this bug if you think this is ok for now!
