Haskell SIG
From FedoraProject
Contents |
Mission
The mission of the Haskell Special Interest Group is to encourage, grow and guide the packaging of Haskell projects in Fedora.
Communication
Mailing list
We have a mailing-list haskell-devel (archives), since Feb 2008.
IRC
We have an IRC channel #fedora-haskell on Freenode.
Haskell Platform support
Haskell Platform in Fedora status:
- F11 supports haskell-platform-2009.2.0.1
- F12 supports haskell-platform-2009.2.0.2
There is no release yet of haskell-platform for ghc-6.12.1 (see current darcs haskell-platform.cabal for version clues).
Tasks
- move bugzilla to a separate mailing-list
- build ghc for EPEL
- have a SIG meeting on IRC
- port arch2cabal features to cabal2spec
- yum or packagekit extension for cabal-install
- keep cabal2spec/haskell in sync with latest macros
- Haskell_Spin submitted to Spins SIG
- autogeneration of packages for a "testing" repository of all-of-hackage. Pull from this (with a human eye) to make Fedora packages.
- docsbeat
Packaging
Please use the latest cabal2spec package from rawhide or koji when submitting packages.
The current Haskell Packaging Guidelines need updating to ghc-6.12.1. cabal2spec generates .spec files from cabal packages using up to date templates. After a package has been accepted please remember to include haskell-sig in the CVS Admin Request.
Package reviews
You can use cabal2spec-diff when reviewing packages to check differences from the templates.
Open Package reviews (CC fedora-haskell-list) include:
- hlint
- xmobar
- ghc-hinotify
Closed Package reviews (CC fedora-haskell-list)
Package Wishlist
- pandoc (requires zip-archive)
- gitit
- happstack
