Hi Joachim,
Happy New Year and thanks for your mail.
Sorry for my slow reply: I was busy rebuilding
Fedora packages for haskell-platform-2011.4...

Yes - probably mostly I have "stolen" your patches. :-)

Right - perhaps I can take a stab at it one day if noone else has time.
Yes this patch is probably the main maintenance burden currently for ghc
so it would definitely be good to upstream - perhaps it needs a switch
in configure though or Linux should just use system libffi anyway.
(Though earlier when I proposed the latter to SimonM, he was not too keen.)

I see thanks. Ok I will definitely consider that.
So with that you don't see any lag with installing haddock documentation
any more, or probably debian spawns a subprocess for re-indexing anyway?

Ok, I will try to do a testbuild of rc1 for Fedora finally soon too.

Yes thanks. Likewise for our Fedora haskell-devel list though
probably it is currently a bit too noisy with bugzilla mail traffic.
Actually I was wondering if it would make sense for us to
setup a Haskell distro mailing-list for people involved/interesting
in packaging haskell for Linux to communicate about issues?
Perhaps even packaging for all platforms? What do you think?
Thanks for reaching out and also I would like to say thanks and my respect
for the great work Debian has done and continues to do on Haskell packaging.

Dear GHC team (esp. Simon and Ian),
thanks for fixing the exotic-architecture-build-errors in time for
7.4.1, everything compiles smoothly now:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=ghc&suite=experimental
(Well, arm* and mips* are not done yet, as they need more than one day,
but the others work so I am optimistic.)
Greetings,
Joachim
