Change logs for ghc6 source package in Feisty

  • ghc6 (6.6-3) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Add arm to the list of arches that have ghc6.
      * Add arm to the arches in compiler/cmm/PprC.hs for which
        loads and stores to be printed in a way that works if they are not
        aligned as the arch wishes.
      * For arm's odd floating point numbers:
        * Add FPTOOLS_FLOAT_WORD_ORDER_BIGENDIAN test to aclocal.m4
        * Call FPTOOLS_FLOAT_WORD_ORDER_BIGENDIAN after AC_C_BIGENDIAN
          in configure.ac.
        * Extra section for the FPTOOLS_FLOAT_WORD_ORDER_BIGENDIAN test in
          configure.
        * Add "#undef FLOAT_WORDS_BIGENDIAN" to mk/config.h.in.
        * Add FLOAT_WORDS_BIGENDIAN cases to rts/StgPrimFloat.c.
      * Apply the following upstream patch, to fix potential problems
        compiling ghc6 on amd64 (and possibly others):

          * In hashExpr, use Word32 rather than relying on wrapping behaviour of Int
          Fixes #952, as it turns out.
          
          When compiling via C, we are at the mercy of C's undefined behaviour
          with respect to overflow of signed integer operations, and this was
          biting us here.
          
          Perhaps we should always add the -fwrapv flag to gcc, but since
          Haskell doesn't define overflow on Int either, it seemed the right
          thing to do to fix this code anyway.
    
    ghc6 (6.6-2) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Add mips and mipsel to the list of arches that have ghc6.
      * Add mips and mipsel to the arches in compiler/cmm/PprC.hs for which
        loads and stores to be printed in a way that works if they are not
        aligned as the arch wishes.
      * Removed the -static flag for mips from compiler/main/DynFlags.hs.
    
    ghc6 (6.6-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * New upstream version.
      * Drop ghc6-hopengl package as HOpenGL is now split off from the
        GHC core.
      * Removed:
        * ghc6-hopengl.README.debian
        * ghc6-hopengl.examples
        * ghc6-hopengl.postinst.in
        * ghc6-hopengl.prerm.in
      * Removed opengl examples.
      * debian/scripts.mk no longer makes:
        * debian/ghc6-hopengl.postinst
        * debian/ghc6-hopengl.prerm
      * Removed all opengl-related commands from debian/rules.
      * Drop build-deps on
          xlibmesa-gl-dev, libglu1-xorg-dev | libglu-dev, libglut3-dev
        now we don't build the OpenGL libs.
      * Added note to manpage that ghci is not yet available on all arches.
      * Add ppc64 to the list of arches that have ghc6. Closes: #375623.
      * Update locations of README and ANNOUNCE in ghc6.docs.
      * Don't include ghc/mk/version.mk in debian/scripts.mk as it no longer
        exists. Instead, get ProjectVersion with some shell magic.
      * Don't include ghc/mk/version.mk in debian/scripts.mk as it no longer
        exists. Instead, pass $(ProjectVersion) in from debian/rules.
      * Remove mk/build.mk before we start filling it so the commands can be
        more symmetric.
      * Don't build the threaded RTS except on x86/amd64.
      * Don't try to link ghc6 with the threaded RTS except on x86/amd64.
      * Remove debian/test-build before creating it, so we can restart
        builds part-way through without them falling over.
      * Various paths in debian/rules lose their ghc/ prefix.
      * Clean up debian/test-build/ after doing the test.
      * hslibs no longer exists, so remove everything relating to it in
        debian/rules.
      * Remove register declarations from rts/StgCRun.c that break the
        unregisterised build on alpha.
      * Add to compiler/cmm/PprC.hs an option for loads and stores to be
        printed in a way that works if they are not aligned as the arch
        wishes. Enable this option for alpha.
      * Remove the --source-module argument to haddock in mk/package.mk
        as haddock 0.7 doesn't support it.
      * Re-add the -optP-P when generating .raw-hs files as haddock 0.7
        doesn't cope with line numbers in the files.

  • ghc6 (6.4.2-2ubuntu1) edgy; urgency=low
    
      * Merge newer debian version. Only change left is the gl/glu-transition
        (build-dependencies of ghc6 and dependencies of ghc6-hopengl).
    
    ghc6 (6.4.2-2) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Have ghc-pkg not create ~/.ghc when it doesn't need to, and return
        the empty package file when trying to read a package file that
        doesn't exist. Closes: #375166, #375188.
    
    ghc6 (6.4.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * New upstream release. Closes: #369947.
      * Add --nonet to XSLTPROC_OPTS.
      * Add GhcWithInterpreter=NO on arches we don't build registerised
        due to http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/631
    
    ghc6 (6.4.1-2.1) unstable; urgency=high
    
      * Non-maintainer upload.
      * Add docbook-xml to build-dep (Closes: #356015).
