Submit various commonly used libraries for Package Review
srpm packages for DrIFT, X11, c2hs, cpphs, fps, hs-plugins, hscolour, hsh, hslogger, missingh, vty, wxhaskell, xmobar, xmonad at unsubmitted srpm packages are some good starting candidates
update Bryan's cabal-rpm to generate .spec that follow our Packaging Guidelines
bootstrap ghc on ppc64 (bug 239713 ) and ia64

Comments

I'm tinkering with cabal-rpm to make sure it can create *good* Fedora packages for most cabal files. I'm using zlib as a test spec in the review process to get a feel for the little nuances that cabal-rpm has to work out. - YaakovNemoy

I've drafted up a feature request - Yaakov Nemoy
