Haskell SIG

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 (ghc-6.10.3)
• F12 supports haskell-platform-2009.2.0.2 (ghc-6.10.4)
• F13 supports haskell-platform-2010.1.0.0 (ghc-6.12.1)

F14 currently in development has ghc-6.12.3 and will ship with haskell-platform-2010.2.0.0.

Tasks

• update PackagingDrafts/Haskell to latest macros/packaging
• F14 docsbeat
  • finish rebuilds to merge -doc into -devel
• build ghc for EPEL-6
• new mailing-list discussion separate to bugzilla mails
• move cabal2spec package to haskell branch
  • port cabal2arch features to cabal2spec
• cabal/yum integration (cabal-autopkg)
  • autogeneration of packages for a "testing" repository of all-of-hackage. Pull from this (with a human eye) to make Fedora packages.
• Haskell_Spin submitted to Spins SIG

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. 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 package SCM admin request.

Package reviews

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