๐ Mission
The mission of the Haskell Special Interest Group is to maintain, grow, and guide the packaging of Haskell projects in Fedora.
๐ Communication
๐ Mailing lists
We have two mailing-lists:
- haskell (archives) for general discussion [new!]
- haskell-devel (archives) for bugzilla traffic.
๐ IRC
We have an #fedora-haskell[?] channel on freenode.net .
๐ Updates
Follow us on Twitter.
๐ Haskell Platform support
Please see the Haskell Platform page for more information about Fedora's Haskell Platform support. Detailed package information can be found on the Fedora Community page.
- F19 currently 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
- F17 has haskell-platform-2011.4.0.0 with ghc-7.0.4
- F16 has haskell-platform-2011.2.0.1 with ghc-7.0.4
- EPEL6 has haskell-platform-2011.4.0.0 and ghc-7.0.4
- EPEL5 has ghc-6.12.3
๐ Tasks
- PackagingDrafts/Haskell submission to FPC: https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/194
- Features/YesodWebFramework for F19
- docsbeat
- repoquery wrapper for (reverse-)dependencies
- submit Haskell_Spin to Spins SIG?
- 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.
๐ Packaging
๐ New Package Process
- Please use cabal-rpm (which replaces cabal2spec) to generate packages for submitting a package review request.
- The current Haskell Packaging Guidelines have been revised PackagingDrafts/Haskell.
- 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.)
๐ Package reviews
Open haskell-devel package reviews can be split by Whiteboard into:
- Ready reviews (12)
- Ongoing reviews (11) (neither Ready nor NotReady)
- NotReady reviews (21)
(stats updated 16 Apr 2013)
Other links:
- Haskell-pkg-reviews dependency tree is no longer systematically used
- "ghc" or "haskell" reviews not CC haskell-sig
- Closed haskell-devel package reviews
๐ Bugs
Non-review bugs, 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.
๐ Current packages in Fedora
See package interdependencies for dependency graphs.
