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 fedora-haskell-list (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 will support haskell-platform-2009.2.0.2
haskell-platform for ghc-6.12
For ghc-6.12 we need to add packages for:
- parsec
- 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).
Tasks
- submit extralibs replacement packages for haskell-platform (for ghc-6.12)
- build ghc for EPEL
- have a SIG meeting on IRC
- move bugzilla to a separate mailing-list?
- port arch2cabal features to cabal2spec
- packagekit extension for cabal-install
- update cabal2spec/haskell to latest templates
- 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.
- mtl
- parsec
- hlint
- xmobar
- ghc-hinotify
Closed Package reviews which are CC fedora-haskell-list.
Package Wishlist
- pandoc (requires zip-archive)
