Bug#712228: Your mail

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Hi,

>https://patches.ubuntu.com/g/ghc/ghc_7.10.3-9ubuntu1.patch


this patch was already committed on ghc 8 branch, and I also committed
on the master branch (7.10.3), however, I won't upload it.
>An other option would be bootstrapping GHC in Debian with
>-fPIC, but I'm not sure if this is viable.


that might sound better in the long run, even if it requires probably more
effort.


I finished the Ubuntu haskell transition without many issues, so I presume
this patch is safe for unstable, but I don't feel enough confident because
I can't rebuild and NMU stuff in Debian :)
