From Fedora Project Wiki

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-2010.1.0.0 for ghc-6.12.1 is currently being packaged for F13/F14.

Tasks

  • f13 docsbeat
  • update PackagingDrafts/Haskell 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.
