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 list (archives) for general discussion [new!]
haskell-devel (archives) for bugzilla traffic.

IRC

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

Updates

Haskell Platform support

Please see the Haskell Platform page for more information about Fedora's Haskell Platform support. Detailed package information can be found on the Fedora Community page.

Rawhide currently has ghc-7.4.1 with haskell-platform-2012.2
F17 has haskell-platform-2011.4.0.0 with ghc-7.0.4
F16 has haskell-platform-2011.2.0.1 with ghc-7.0.4
EPEL6 has haskell-platform-2011.4.0.0 and ghc-7.0.4
EPEL5 has ghc-6.12.3

Tasks

PackagingDrafts/Haskell submission to FPC: https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/194
Features/GHC74 for F18
Haskell_Spin submit to Spins SIG
docsbeat
complete cabal-rpm update: https://github.com/juhp/cabal-rpm
- cabal/yum integration (cabal-rpm)
- autogeneration of packages for a "testing" repository of all-of-hackage. Pull from this (with a human eye) to make Fedora packages.
- support for automatic rebuilds. Try to do it in koji or mock-build with a shell script or haskell script.
Add %check sections for packages that have tests available
Better tool to check for dependency breakage for version updates: packdeps reverse and cblrepo exist
Automatically updated package dependency graphs.
Continuous build integration to automate build testing.
Koji supports maven now. It could have support for cabal as well.

Packaging

New Package Process

Please use the latest cabal2spec package when submitting a package review request.
- The current Haskell Packaging Guidelines have been revised PackagingDrafts/Haskell.
- cabal2spec generates .spec files from cabal packages using up to date templates.
You can use cabal2spec-diff when reviewing packages to check differences from the 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.)

Package reviews

All open haskell-devel package reviews which can be split into:

Active open reviews (not containing "NotReady" in Whiteboard) (21)
NotReady stalled reviews (33)

Haskell-pkg-reviews dependency tree (no longer systematically used)
"ghc" or "haskell" reviews not CC haskell-sig
Closed haskell-devel package reviews

(Stats last updated 17 July 2012)

Bugs

Non-review bugs, which can be split into:

All open Haskell bugs
