From d2a526833f7178a04b00704890cf6ee8c1187618 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joey Hess Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2018 14:39:35 -0400 Subject: libghc-stm-dev package won't be in new versions of debian In Bootstrap, still try to install the package to support bootstrapping to old systems. If it's not available the bootstrapping will still succeed. The added apt-cache check is only to avoid apt complaining when asked to install a not available package. In debian/control, depend on ghc that includes stm, although propellor still supports being used with older versions of ghc Of course this control file is not being used for the package in debian any longer afaik, so something else will be done there. --- .../comment_1_dbb0a50414b1ac58cad8584a7c99078e._comment | 17 +++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+) create mode 100644 doc/todo/haskell-stm_now_bundled_with_ghc_in_Debian_sid/comment_1_dbb0a50414b1ac58cad8584a7c99078e._comment (limited to 'doc/todo/haskell-stm_now_bundled_with_ghc_in_Debian_sid/comment_1_dbb0a50414b1ac58cad8584a7c99078e._comment') diff --git a/doc/todo/haskell-stm_now_bundled_with_ghc_in_Debian_sid/comment_1_dbb0a50414b1ac58cad8584a7c99078e._comment b/doc/todo/haskell-stm_now_bundled_with_ghc_in_Debian_sid/comment_1_dbb0a50414b1ac58cad8584a7c99078e._comment new file mode 100644 index 00000000..a53a144a --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/todo/haskell-stm_now_bundled_with_ghc_in_Debian_sid/comment_1_dbb0a50414b1ac58cad8584a7c99078e._comment @@ -0,0 +1,17 @@ +[[!comment format=mdwn + username="joey" + subject="""comment 1""" + date="2018-12-04T18:58:48Z" + content=""" +Bootstrap's package installation ignores errors, so if the package is not +available, it will at worst display an error message and continue. + +However, I went ahead and made it check with apt-cache if the package is +available, to avoid the user seeing an apt error here. + +I suppose users of Arch and FreeBSD may want to make similar changes, if +their package managers also display errors; I don't know if they do or even +if this change is going to affect those distributions. +Probably better to let those users deal with it if similar changes are made +to those distributions, so I'm going to close this. +"""]] -- cgit v1.2.3
