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 13 Feb 2008.
IRC
We have an IRC channel #fedora-haskell on Freenode.
Haskell Platform support
Haskell Platform in Fedora status:
- F12 will support haskell-platform-2009.2.0.2 (already in rawhide)
- F11 will support haskell-platform-2009.2.0.1 soon
- just needs a few more (re)builds: ghc-HTTP, cabal-install, and haskell-platform
haskell-platform for ghc-6.12
For F12 we still depend on ghc extralibs which will disappear in ghc-6.12.
So for ghc-6.12 we will need to add packages for:
- haskell-src
- html
- parallel
- parsec
- QuickCheck
- regex-base
- regex-compat
- regex-posix
- stm
- xhtml
to support next version of haskell-platform
Tasks
- update docsbeat for f12
- push haskell-platform to f11
- build ghc for EPEL
- have a SIG meeting on IRC
- move bugzilla to a separate mailing-list?
- port arch2cabal features to cabal2spec
- pkgkit extension for cabal-install
- update cabal2spec/haskell to latest templates
- Haskell_Spin submitted to Spins SIG
- autogeneration of packages for a "testing" repository of autogenerated all-of-hackage. Pull from this (with a human eye) to make Fedora packages.
- Bootstrap ghc on ppc64 (bug 239713 ) and ia64
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.
