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-6.12.2 and is planned to ship with haskell-platform-2010.2.0.0 (ghc-6.12.3).

Tasks

• update PackagingDrafts/Haskell to latest macros
• F14
  • merge -doc and -prof into -devel (ready)
  • replace ghc-gtk2hs with cabalized packages
  • (docsbeat)
• new mailing-list discussion separate to bugzilla mails
• improve ghc/devel/pkg-deps.sh script to include bin packages not just libs
• build ghc for EPEL
• move cabal2spec package to haskell branch
  • port arch2cabal features to cabal2spec
• Haskell_Spin submitted to Spins SIG
• autogeneration of packages for a "testing" repository of all-of-hackage. Pull from this (with a human eye) to make Fedora packages.

Packaging

Please use the latest cabal2spec package from rawhide or koji when submitting packages.

The current Haskell Packaging Guidelines need updating to ghc-6.12.1. 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.

Package reviews

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