Re: [Debian-haskell] Bug#275071: ITP: hunit -- Haskell Unit Testing Framework

GNU/Linux system)

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist
* Package name : hunit
Just a warning: there was talk of adding this to the standard Haskell libraries, which is why it hasn't been packaged yet. That said, people keep asking for it to be packaged, and I haven't checked lately to see if it has actually made it into the haskell standard libraries? BTW, It should be easy to generate the dh_make skeleton from the cabal debianTemplate. I'm ccing libraries@haskell.org about this. Malcolm Wallace originally requested that it be added. peace, isaac

I have seen it in the Debian ghc cvs package. In any case, when compilers that integrate it come out, they can simply Provide: the appropriate package and we'll have no problems. -- John

Yes, HUnit has been sucked into the common libraries source tree for ghc, Hugs, and nhc98. I'm not sure whether it has yet reached a real live release of any of those compilers, although I'm sure it will percolate out soon. Regards, Malcolm
