Mission

The mission of the Haskell Special Interest Group is to maintain, grow, and guide the packaging of Haskell projects in Fedora.

Communication

Mailing list

We have a mailing-list haskell-devel (archives).

IRC

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

Haskell Platform support

Haskell Platform in Fedora status:

Next release:
- F17 is planning to ship haskell-platform-2011.4.0.0 with ghc-7.0.4

Current releases:
- F16 has haskell-platform-2011.2.0.1 with ghc-7.0.4
- F15 has haskell-platform-2011.2.0.0 with ghc-7.0.2

EPEL
- EPEL6 has haskell-platform-2010.2.0.0 with ghc-6.12.3
- EPEL5 has ghc-6.10.4
- EPEL4 has ghc-6.8.3

Former releases
- F14 had haskell-platform-2010.2.0.0 with ghc-6.12.3
- F13 had haskell-platform-2010.1.0.0 with ghc-6.12.1
- F12 had haskell-platform-2009.2.0.2 with ghc-6.10.4
- F11 had haskell-platform-2009.2.0.1 with ghc-6.10.3

See also the current Haskell Platform release schedule.

Tasks

Features/HaskellPlatform2011.4 for F17
submit updated PackagingDrafts/Haskell to FPC
added haskell-platform packages to Upstream_release_monitoring#Package_Ignore_List
- Update packaging guidelines for Haskell to the latest cabal2spec in cabal2spec-0.25.2
Haskell_Spin submit to Spins SIG
docsbeat
Features/GHC74 for F18
new mailing-list for discussion separate to bugzilla mails
move cabal2spec package to haskell branch
Add %check sections for packages that have tests available
cabal/yum integration (cabal-rpm)
- autogeneration of packages for a "testing" repository of all-of-hackage. Pull from this (with a human eye) to make Fedora packages.
A tool to check for dependency breakage for version updates in repo: packdeps/reverse and cblrepo exist
A tool to do automatic rebuild. Try to do it in koji or mock-build with a shell script or haskell script.
Automatically updated package dependency graph.
- Need to have continuous build integration, eg automate dependency builds. Check reverse [1].
- Koji supports maven now. It could have support for cabal as well.

Packaging

New Package Process

Please use the latest cabal2spec package when submitting a package review request.
- The current Haskell Packaging Guidelines have been revised PackagingDrafts/Haskell.
- cabal2spec generates .spec files from cabal packages using up to date templates.
You can use cabal2spec-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.)

Package reviews

All open fedora-haskell-list package reviews which can be split into:

New Ready reviews (all Ready reviews)
Other pending or new reviews (not containing "Ready" in Whiteboard]

Closed fedora-haskell-list package reviews

Bugs

Non-review bugs, which can be split into:

All open Haskell bugs
