Mission

The mission of the Haskell Special Interest Group is to maintain, 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:

  • F16 rawhide currently has haskell-platform-2011.2.0.0 (ghc-7.0.2)
  • F15 will currently ship with haskell-platform-2011.1.0.0 (ghc-7.0.1)
  • F14 supports haskell-platform-2010.2.0.0 (ghc-6.12.3)
  • F13 supports haskell-platform-2010.1.0.0 (ghc-6.12.1)
  • F12 supported haskell-platform-2009.2.0.2 (ghc-6.10.4)
  • F11 supported haskell-platform-2009.2.0.1 (ghc-6.10.3)
  • EPEL 6 has ghc-6.12.3 and haskell-platform-2010.2.0.0
  • EPEL 5 has ghc-6.10.4
  • EPEL 4 has ghc-6.8.3

Tasks

  • update PackagingDrafts/Haskell to latest macros/packaging
  • F15 docsbeat
  • new mailing-list for discussion separate to bugzilla mails
  • move cabal2spec package to haskell branch
  • cabal/yum integration (cabal-autopkg)
    • autogeneration of packages for a "testing" repository of all-of-hackage. Pull from this (with a human eye) to make Fedora packages.
  • Haskell_Spin submitted to Spins SIG
  • Add %check sections for packages that have tests available

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. 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 package SCM admin request.

Package reviews

You can use cabal2spec-diff when reviewing packages to check differences from the templates.
