Description Bruno Wolff III 2015-02-10 04:45:06 UTC

Description of problem:

While this isn't a bug in ghc I need some ghc expertise to get hedgewars building again in rawhide.

An example fsiled build log is at https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/7888/8877888/build.log

The problem code is from a patch to work around not having Text.Show.ByteString in Fedora. The snippet that appears to be the problem is:

exceptionMask:: ((forall a. IO a -> IO a) -> IO b) -> IO b
exceptionMask io = do
    b <- blocked
    if b then io id else block (io unblock)

Any help with this would be appreciated.

I'll switch the bug to hedgewars. The initial assignment to ghc is to copy some ghc experts.

Comment 1 Bruno Wolff III 2015-02-15 16:26:00 UTC

It might be best to just get bytestring-show into Fedora. That saves patching Hedgewars as a work around and could provide a benefit to others. It seems to be BSD licensed.

Comment 2 Bruno Wolff III 2015-02-16 00:48:32 UTC

I took a look at packaging bytestring-show, but it has errors. It looks like it expects booleans to promote to integers.
A scratch build is here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=8942962

Comment 3 Bruno Wolff III 2015-02-16 00:51:16 UTC

The Debian package version shows a higher version number, maybe I found an old version?

Comment 4 Bruno Wolff III 2015-02-16 01:23:33 UTC

I have made a review request for ghc-bytestring-show as bug 1192866 .

Comment 5 Bruno Wolff III 2015-02-17 16:27:08 UTC

hedgewars has now been built in rawhide using ghc-bytestring-show. But, I'd like to do the same for f22, f21 and f20 before closing this.
