[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#783126: Bug#783126: haskell-hxt-relaxng: FTBFS for mips/mipsel, virtual memory exhausted

[Dejan Latinovic]

HI,

I am not sure that this would be a good idea.
There are only few Haskell packages with this  issue,
at least that I am aware of it.
This flag will slow down the compilation,
so using it for all architecture does not sound
acceptable.

Regards,
Dejan

Hi,

Thanks for the patch.

would it make sense to add this flag centrally in haskell-devscripts,
for all Haskell packages? Would it make sense to do that even for all
architectures?


Greetings,
Joachim
