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

haskell-platform for ghc-6.12

For ghc-6.12 we need to add packages for:

  • stm, haskell-src, html, parallel, QuickCheck, regex-base, regex-compat, regex-posix, xhtml

to support the next major version of haskell-platform (see current darcs haskell-platform.cabal for version clues).

Tasks

  • submit extralibs replacement packages for haskell-platform for ghc-6.12
  • 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

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. After a package has been accepted please remember to include haskell-sig in the CVS Admin Request.

Package reviews

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

  • hlint
  • xmobar
  • ghc-hinotify

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

Package Wishlist

  • pandoc (requires zip-archive)
  • gitit
  • happstack

Bugs

Current packages in Fedora

Haskell SIG packages in pkgdb

Programs

  • alex, cabal2spec, cabal-install, cpphs, curry, darcs, ghc, ghc-rpm-macros, haddock, happy, hscolour, hugs98, xmonad

Libraries
