Haskell SIG

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
