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.

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
