Hi folks,

Things seemed to be in a great deal of flux the last time I looked into starting to put together various Haskell packages. Have things settled down and are there now finalized Haskell packaging guidelines? Is it possible to follow these on F10 or is it necessary to either wait for backports from rawhide or switch to the rawhide toolchain? Oh, and what happened to cabal-rpm?

I'd also be keen to know what packages are currently in progress so that I don't duplicate anyone else's efforts.

I have the following rough and ready packages which I'd like to update and make some progress on submitting,

The packaging guidelines have settled down alot. If possible, please use the command cabal2spec to generate your spec files following the guidelines.

In order to do packaging run: yum --enablerepo=rawhide update ghc

and this will enclude cabal2spec.

Packages that already have review requests are easily searchable through bugzilla. I think the majority of your packages though are free for the taking.

I am planning to do F10 backport builds in the near future. :) In the meantime please use the rawhide builds on f10 as Yaakov suggested.

Oh, and what happened to cabal-rpm?

Not sure - it may still reincarnate? :)

agda-2.1.3-0.20080311.fc8 arrows-0.4-1.fc8 binary-0.4.1-1.fc8 goa-3.0-1.fc8 oeis-0.1-1.fc8 plugins-1.1-0.20080311.fc8 quickcheck-2.0-1.fc8 stream-0.2.3-1.fc8

I don't think these have been submitted yet.

http-3001.0.4-1.fc8 zlib-0.4.0.4-1.fc8

These two are already in rawhide and will be backported.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Haskell has a link to open haskell reviews.

Hope that helps,
