[Bug 319814] Re: Please merge hedgewars 0.9.9-2ubuntu1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio]

Alright, here's an update on the status for those interested.

Turns out that even when the dependencies for 0.9.9 were satisfiable,
hedgewars still will not build in Karmic due to changes in the more
recent version of haskell-network. Luckily, upstream upstream has
already fixed this 0.9.11 which is already in Debian. Unluckily, the
upstream rewrite of the network code requires a brand new dependency
which wasn't in either Debian or Ubuntu yet, haskell-dataenc.  Due to
that, Debian has temporarily disabled the network features.

The new dependency was finally accepted into Debian the other day. I
just got it synced to Ubuntu. It is now waiting for approval in the NEW
queue.

So long story short, we should be able to get 0.9.11 with network
features re-enabled into Karmic shortly, and our long haskell headache
will soon be over.

(Unless of course if you want to backport. Unfortunately, at the least
you will have to backport the new dependency, but I fear that you might
need to backport a chunk of the haskell stack as well.)
