Hi Jason, > Because the draft was submitted to us as complete, and we voted on it. I understood that it was submitted as a draft for comments... > If someone didn't want us to vote on it, it would have been nice > if someone had let us know. I thought that was what this discussion was about: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2008-August/thread.html#00… Thanks for the headsup anyway. :) Jens

[Fedora-haskell-list] Revised Haskell Guidelines 2008.08.13
by Yaakov Nemoy 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Hi Lists, I've revised the guidelines once again to cover the issues brought up when I brought them before the packaging committee. As follows is a list of the issues I've heard, and how they are fixed. * %buildsubdir is not a common way of doing things ** we need this macro in the install phase to get at the working dir we used to compile the package. This was only needed by the rather scary looking file seeking code, so I put it into a macro that is called by another macro, and hid it from public view. The user should not need this in the spec file anymore. * this looks scary, use macros ** done, the guidelines include them * how do runtime requirements work, vis a vis build time, etc... ** GHC apparently uses static linking for haskell libraries and dynamic for C libraries. *** This is quite similar to OCaml ** all the dynamic links to C libraries can be automagically detected by RPM's wonderful automagic. ** the -devel packages still need to be put in by hand in the BuildRequires ** most packages only need their dependency libraries at build time. ** Some packages, notably xmonad, do code generation and require the dependencies at run time. *** the packager is responsible for tracking this bit * this file detection stuff is scary ** I've put it into a series of macros and documented it * this register stuff looks kinky ** for starters, it's needed so the compiler knows where to look for certain packages ** it's been converted to a bunch of macros I also think that if we can make this any more simple, then the only thing that cabal-rpm really really needs to do is detect if a package is a library, binary, or both, and then fill in some of the dependencies automatically, whcih it's not clever enough yet to do properly anyways. We may just need to create a few rpm templates, and be done with it. Anyways, I present the guidelines once more for review. I will try to comandeer the help of the people in the SIG to start putting together a repo of packages using these macros. The deadeline for the F10 feature is coming up soon, and I want to have it in a relatively stable shape, even though we have time to fine tune the details later. -Yaakov

Any easy Haskell review requests that I could do? I was considering https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=425882 (ghc-zlib) but the spec file looks a bit daunting. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines. Tiny program with many powerful monitoring features, net stats, disk stats, logging, etc. http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-top
