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
build ghc for EPEL

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. I would really like to have a naming scheme decided on in some part. Once that step is out of the way, I think I can try to make rpms for most of the packages, and put them in a repo somewhere as a demo - YaakovNemoy

I've drafted up some packaging standards and a feature request - Yaakov Nemoy
