Haskell Special Interest Group

Mission

To encourage, grow and guide the packaging of Haskell projects in Fedora.

Communication

Mailing list

We have a mailing-list fedora-haskell-list (archives ), since 13 Feb 2008.

IRC

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

Tasks

Complete and submit the revised draft packaging guidelines to FPC
Submit more, commonly used libraries for Package Review
Build ghc for EPEL
update Bryan's cabal-rpm to generate .spec that follow our Packaging Guidelines
There are some of old srpms for DrIFT, c2hs, fps, hs-plugins, hscolour, hsh, hslogger, missingh, vty, wxhaskell, xmobar at unsubmitted srpm packages that could be updated
Bootstrap ghc on ppc64 (bug 239713 ) and ia64
Improve integration between Fedora and cabal-install (have cabal-install ask yum for packages before building them itself)
Improve autogeneration and keep a "testing" repository of autogenerated all-of-hackage. Pull from this (with a human eye) to make Fedora packages

Packaging

We have the Haskell Packaging Guidelines in place with template .spec files for libraries and programs. Please use them when submitting Haskell packages for review. cabal2spec generates .spec files from cabal packages using up to date templates.

Package Reviews

Open Package reviews which are CC fedora-haskell-list.

They include:

Closed Package reviews which are CC fedora-haskell-list.

Comments

cabal-rpm needs to be updated and patched to generate .spec files compliant with the package guidelines.

I've drafted up a feature request - Yaakov Nemoy
