Haskell Special Interest Group

Mission

To encourage, grow 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

We have an IRC channel #fedora-haskell on Freenode.

Tasks

Complete and submit the revised draft packaging guidelines to FPC
Build ghc for EPEL
Improve integration between Fedora and cabal-install (have cabal-install ask yum for packages before building them itself, or vice versa?)
Improve autogeneration and keep a "testing" repository of autogenerated all-of-hackage. Pull from this (with a human eye) to make Fedora packages.
rewriting cabal2spec in Haskell
Bootstrap ghc on ppc64 (bug 239713 ) and ia64

Packaging

We have the Haskell Packaging Guidelines in place with template .spec files for libraries and programs. Please use them when submitting Haskell packages for review. cabal2spec generates .spec files from cabal packages using up to date templates.

Package Reviews

Open Package reviews which are CC fedora-haskell-list.

They include:

Closed Package reviews which are CC fedora-haskell-list.

Other Potential packages

emacs-haskell, HsColour

Current packages in Fedora

Haskell SIG packages in pkgdb
