Haskell Special Interest Group

Mission

To encourage and guide the packaging of Haskell projects in Fedora.

Communication

Mailing list

We have a mailing-list fedora-haskell-list (archives ), since 13 Feb 2008.

IRC

Currently we do not have an independent IRC channel. Some members may be found on #fedora-devel or #haskell on Freenode.

Tasks

  • Draft packaging guidelines for Haskell packages and libraries
  • Naming: we have Cabal packages with names such as zlib. Should we call the corresponding Fedora package haskell-zlib to avoid conflicts? Should we use this convention for all Haskell-extension packages?
  • Submit various commonly used libraries for Package Review
  • srpm packages for DrIFT, X11, c2hs, cpphs, fps, hs-plugins, hscolour, hsh, hslogger, missingh, vty, wxhaskell, xmobar, xmonad at unsubmitted srpm packages are some good starting candidates
  • also packaging with Bryan's cabal-rpm
  • bootstrap ghc on ppc64 (bug 239713 )
  • build ghc for EL-4 and EL-5

Submitted for review

Bug list of package reviews which are CC fedora-haskell-list.

Other Potential packages

  • missingh
  • HsColour
  • vty

Current packages in Fedora

  • alex
  • curry
  • darcs
  • ghc
  • gtk2hs (should probably be renamed to ghc-gtk2hs)
  • haddock
  • happy
  • hugs98

Comments

I'm tinkering with cabal-rpm to make sure it can create *good* Fedora packages for most cabal files. I'm using zlib as a test spec in the review process to get a feel for the little nuances that cabal-rpm has to work out. I would really like to have a naming scheme decided on in some part. Once that step is out of the way, I think I can try to make rpms for most of the packages, and put them in a repo somewhere as a demo - YaakovNemoy

I've drafted up some packaging standards and a feature request - Yaakov Nemoy
