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 Freenode.
Tasks
- Complete and submit the revised draft packaging guidelines to FPC
- Build ghc for EPEL
- Improve integration between Fedora and cabal-install (have cabal-install ask yum for packages before building them itself, or vice versa?)
- Improve autogeneration and keep a "testing" repository of autogenerated all-of-hackage. Pull from this (with a human eye) to make Fedora packages.
- rewriting cabal2spec in Haskell
- Bootstrap ghc on ppc64 (bug 239713 ) and ia64
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.
