Mission

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

Communication

Mailing lists

We have two mailing-lists:

haskell (archives) for general discussion
haskell-devel (archives) for bugzilla traffic.

Matrix and IRC

Matrix room: #haskell:fedoraproject.org
IRC: #fedora-haskell^[?] channel on libera.chat

Package versions

GHC and Stackage LTS versions

F38 has ghc-9.2.6 and Stackage LTS 20
F37 has ghc-8.10.7 and Stackage LTS 18
EPEL9 has ghc-8.10.7 and Stackage LTS 18
EPEL8 currently has ghc-8.2.2
EPEL7 has ghc-7.6.3 and haskell-platform-2013.2.0.0

See Haskell_Stackage_LTS and Haskell_Platform for older releases.

See Haskell_GHC_LLVM for llvm version requirements.

GHC X.Y packages

These GHC package are available for current Fedora releases and EPEL 9:

ghc8.10 (8.10.7) (not F37 or epel9)
ghc9.0 (9.0.2)
ghc9.2 (9.2.8)
ghc9.4 (9.4.5)
ghc9.6 (9.6.2)

They can be parallel installed.

If you want to make one of them default install ghcX.Y-compiler-default

Note the former ghc module streams are now deprecated.

Haskell Coprs

Coprs for EPEL 7

These versions of ghc are available:

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/ghc-8.6.5/ (includes cabal-install-2.4.1)
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/ghc-8.4.4/ (includes cabal-install-2.2)
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/ghc-8.2.2/ (includes cabal-install-2.0 and epel6)
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/ghc-8.0.2/ (includes cabal-install-1.24)
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/ghc-7.10.3/ (includes cabal-install-1.22 and epel6)
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/ghc-7.8.4/ (includes cabal-install-1.18 and epel6)
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/stack/ (1.9.3)
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/idris/ (1.3.1)

If you have Fedora Haskell libraries installed which are not part of ghc, you will need to remove them all first (easiest just to remove ghc-base) to avoid package dependency conflicts

Tasks

ghc-9.4
add cabal-installX.Y
help improve FedoraReview/plugins/haskell.py
document ghc and package update workflow (GHC_Update_SOP)
package larger subset of LTS in Copr

Packaging

New Package Process

Please use cabal-rpm to generate packages for submitting a package review request.
- It should follow the current Haskell Packaging Guidelines.
- Please add haskell-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org to the CC list for your review request bug.
You can use cabal-rpm diff when reviewing packages to check differences from the templates.
New packages can optionally be added to https://release-monitoring.org/ to track Stackage (or Hackage if not in Stackage).

Package reviews

"ghc" or "haskell" package reviews

Bugs

Non-review bugs can be split into:

All open URM bugs (saved as haskell-available)
- Untriaged URM bugs (saved as haskell-available:untriaged)
- Triaged no missing deps (saved as haskell-available:ok)
- Triaged missing deps (saved as haskell-available:deps)
Package bugs
Tracker for libraries with no revdeps
ghc bugs not CC haskell-sig

All open Haskell bugs
