Hi, I built GHC 7.6.2-rc1 for Debian. Unfortunately, we have this: Control files of package ghc-haddock: lines which differ (wdiff format) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Depends: ghc (= [-7.6.1-3),-] {+7.6.1.20121207-1),+} libc6 (>= 2.11), libffi5 (>= 3.0.4), libgmp10 Installed-Size: [-32917-] {+33044+} Provides: haddock, [-haddock-interface-21-] {+haddock-interface-22+} Version: [-7.6.1-3-] {+7.6.1.20121207-1+} i.e. upstream has bumped the haddock interface number. I really was not expecting this from a minor release. @GHC devs: Is that intentional? I.e., is there really a change to the on-disk format of the .haddock files? Can we expect this to be stable until 7.6.2 final? In general, please only bump the interface number if really required, makes live much easier for us (and probably also for some of your other users). @Debian: If the answer is yes, what should we do? I think I have automated rebuilding everything (at least everything in Darcs) enough to make that not as painful as it used to be, but it would still take some time. On the other hand, it would break Haskell in experimental for some time (maybe a week, optimistically). But then, it is already partly broken.
