- F15 has haskell-platform-2011.2.0.0 with ghc-7.0.2
- EPEL
- EPEL6 has haskell-platform-2010.2.0.0 with ghc-6.12.3
- EPEL5 has ghc-6.10.4
- EPEL4 has ghc-6.8.3

Tasks
- Features/HaskellPlatform2011.4 for F17
- submit updated PackagingDrafts/Haskell to FPC
- added haskell-platform packages to Upstream_release_monitoring#Package_Ignore_List
- Update packaging guidelines for Haskell to the latest cabal2spec in cabal2spec-0.25.2
- Haskell_Spin submit to Spins SIG
- docsbeat
- Features/GHC74 for F18
- new mailing-list for discussion separate to bugzilla mails
- move cabal2spec package to haskell branch
- Add %check sections for packages that have tests available
- cabal/yum integration (cabal-rpm)
- autogeneration of packages for a "testing" repository of all-of-hackage. Pull from this (with a human eye) to make Fedora packages.
- A tool to check for dependency breakage for version updates in repo: packdeps/reverse and cblrepo exist
- A tool to do automatic rebuild. Try to do it in koji or mock-build with a shell script or haskell script.
- Automatically updated package dependency graph.
- Need to have continuous build integration, eg automate dependency builds. Check reverse [1].
- Koji supports maven now. It could have support for cabal as well.
Packaging
New Package Process
- Please use the latest cabal2spec package when submitting a package review request.
- The current Haskell Packaging Guidelines have been revised PackagingDrafts/Haskell.
- cabal2spec generates .spec files from cabal packages using up to date templates.
- You can use cabal2spec-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
All open fedora-haskell-list package reviews which can be split into:
- New Ready reviews (all Ready reviews)
- Other pending or new reviews (not containing "Ready" in Whiteboard] (7)
- NotReady reviews (45)
- Haskell-pkg-reviews dependency tree
- "ghc" or "haskell" reviews not CC haskell-sig
(Stats last updated 1 Feb 2012)
Bugs
Non-review bugs, which can be split into:
- Ready Upstream Release Monitoring bugs (URM)
- Blocked Upstream Release Monitoring bugs (URM)
- Other misc bugs
- Tracker for libraries with no revdeps
See also the package review links in the Packaging section.
