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

There is no release yet of haskell-platform for ghc-6.12.1 (see current darcs haskell-platform.cabal for version clues).

Tasks

  • f13 docsbeat
  • update Packaging Draft to latest macros
  • 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.

Packaging

Please use the latest cabal2spec package from rawhide or koji when submitting packages.

The current Haskell Packaging Guidelines need updating to ghc-6.12.1. 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

You can use cabal2spec-diff when reviewing packages to check differences from the templates.

Open Package reviews (CC fedora-haskell-list) include:

  • ghc-dataenc

Closed Package reviews (CC fedora-haskell-list)

Package Wishlist

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