Mission

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

Communication

We have a mailing-list haskell-devel (archives).

We have an IRC channel #fedora-haskell on Freenode.

Features/GHC704 for F16
submit updated PackagingDrafts/Haskell to FPC
- Update packaging guidelines for Haskell to the latest cabal2spec in rawhide cabal2spec-0.24
docsbeat
new mailing-list for discussion separate to bugzilla mails
move cabal2spec package to haskell branch
Add %check sections for packages that have tests available
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
A tool to check for dependency breakage for version updates in repo: cblrepo exists
A tool to do automatic rebuild. Try to do it in koji or mock-build with a shell script or haskell script.
Always updated package dependency graph.
- Need to have continuous build integration, eg automate dependency builds. Check reverse [1].
- Koji supports maven now. It could have support for cabal as well.

Please try use the latest cabal2spec package when submitting packages.
- The current Haskell Packaging Guidelines have been revised PackagingDrafts:Haskell.
- cabal2spec generates .spec files from cabal packages using up to date templates.
Please include haskell-sig in the InitialCC field of Package_SCM_admin_requests.
Remember to add new packages to Upstream_release_monitoring (Note that packages in haskell-platform are intentionally not listed to avoid accidental breakage.)
