#14057: Upstream Alpine Linux distribution patches ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.3 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): I have posted `0004-reproducible-tmp-names.patch` as Phab:D4220. The remaining patches are: * `0000-bootstrap.patch`: This seems quite suspicious. Moreover, it very likely won't be needed in Hadrian. * `0002-Correct-issue-with-libffi-and-glibc.patch`: Someone is going to need to take ownership of this to get it upstreamed into `libffi` * `0005-buildpath-abi-stability.patch`: This doesn't seem like a reasonable approach as it kills potentially useful information in the interface file. Either we should find a way to encode this information in a deterministic way (e.g. module name and unit ID) or remove it entirely if it really isn't necessary * `0007-build-hp2ps-twice.patch`, `0008-build-unlit-twice.patch`: Looking at these again, they actually look fairly reasonable. In general we shouldn't pollute the final build artifacts with things produced by the bootstrap toolchain. I would say we should just fix this in Hadrian. I've opened #14501 to fix this. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14057#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
