Mission

The mission of the Haskell Special Interest Group is to maintain, grow, and guide the packaging of Haskell projects in Fedora.

Communication

Mailing lists

We have two mailing-lists:

haskell (archives) for general discussion
haskell-devel (archives) for bugzilla traffic.

IRC

We have an #fedora-haskell^[?] channel on freenode.net .

Updates

Haskell Platform support

F20 has haskell-platform-2013.2.0.0 with ghc-7.6.3
F19 has haskell-platform-2012.4.0.0 with ghc-7.4.2
F18 has haskell-platform-2012.2.0.0 with ghc-7.4.1
EPEL6 has haskell-platform-2011.4.0.0 and ghc-7.0.4
EPEL5 has ghc-6.12.3

Please see the Haskell Platform page for more information about Fedora's Haskell Platform support. Detailed package information can be found on the Fedora Packages page.

Tasks

help improve FedoraReview/plugins/haskell.py
Changes/YesodWebFramework
docsbeat
update GHC_Update_SOP when bootstrapping ghc-7.8
submit Haskell_Spin to Spins SIG?
repoquery wrapper for (reverse-)dependencies
cabal-rpm: recursive support
automate rebuilds in koji or mock-build (see rebuild scripts in haskell-sig.git)
Add %check sections for packages that have tests available
Better tool to check for dependency breakage for version updates: packdeps reverse and cblrepo exist
Automatically updated package dependency graphs.
Continuous build integration to automate build testing (see upstream stackage project)
Koji supports maven now. It could have support for cabal as well.

Packaging

New Package Process

Please use cabal-rpm (which replaced cabal2spec) to generate packages for submitting a package review request.
- It should follow the current Haskell Packaging Guidelines.
You can use cabal-rpm-diff when reviewing packages to check differences from the templates.
Please include haskell-sig in the InitialCC field of Package_SCM_admin_requests.
Remember to add new packages to Upstream_release_monitoring. (Note that packages in haskell-platform are intentionally not listed to avoid accidental breakage.)

Package reviews

Open haskell-devel package reviews can be split by Whiteboard into:

New Ready reviews (http://bit.ly/fedora-haskell-new-reviews)
Ready reviews
Ongoing reviews (neither Ready nor NotReady)
NotReady reviews

Bugs

Non-review bugs can be split into:

All open Haskell bugs
