[headsup] Haskell Platform 2012.2 coming soon to Rawhide
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 17 Jun '12

17 Jun '12

Hi, Just a quick heads-up that haskell-platform in Rawhide will be soon be updated to the new 2012.4 release. [1] As usual there will be quite a bit of dependency breakage while all the reverse dependencies get rebuilt: I have already tested it locally and committed required changes to git. At the same time we will also be updating various libraries to their latest versions. In other Haskell news, ghc-7.4.2 was finally released. [2] I am still a bit split on whether we should ship it in F18. It is a bugfix release but it is not clear yet if Haskell Platform will see an official release in time for F18 - it needs a change to their schedule anyway, which is under discussion. ghc-7.4.2 also has ghci support for ARM. I guess it comes down to whether we give priority to ghc or haskell-platform: e.g. Ubuntu 12.04 shipped ghc-7.4.1 and an unofficial haskell-platform-2012.1 (whereas F17 is still on ghc-7.0.4 and the last official haskell-platform-2011.4 release). Debian is currently transitioning ghc-7.4.1 and haskell-platform-2012.2 to testing too.

update for EPEL6 to ghc-7.0.4 in testing
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 17 Jun '12

Hi, I am pleased to announce a refresh of the Haskell packages for EPEL-6 is now available in testing. The major changes are: - ghc-6.12.3 -> ghc-7.0.4 - Haskell Platform updated to 2011.4 - xmonad updated to 0.10 - darcs updated to 2.5.2 - gtk2hs packages to 0.12.2 [1] If you use EPEL6 then please test. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2012-5980/ghc-7.0.4-46.… Thanks, Jens [1] note that gtksourceview2 doesn't build with the gtksourceview2 in el6 though.

Haskell Platform 2012.2.0.0
by Jens Petersen 11 Jun '12

Hi, I made a test build of a monolithic subpackaged build of Haskell Platform 2012.2.0.0. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4131404 You can test it with the ghc-7.4.1 in F18 rawhide. I am considering moving to this monolithic package for F18, since it speeds up building HP considerably (there is very little churn of individual HP libraries and packages anyway) and it also makes it a lot easier to test and experiment with Haskell Platform. Feedback is welcome. Jens ps I had to make some more fixes to the build for ppc - I plan to commit the final changes soon to git. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jens Petersen <juhpetersen(a)gmail.com> Date: 6 June 2012 11:36 Subject: Re: Announce: Haskell Platform 2012.2.0.0 To: haskell-platform <haskell-platform(a)projects.haskell.org> On 4 June 2012 01:24, Mark Lentczner <mark.lentczner(a)gmail.com> wrote: > We're pleased to announce the next release of Haskell Platform: > a single, standard Haskell distribution for everyone. Thanks I finally managed to get my new monolithic Fedora build with subpackaging working. Haskell Platform might be the hardest package I have ever subpackaged... Then again I don't think anyone else subpackages ghc fully? http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4131404 The build takes about 20 minutes but that is still a lot faster then building all the packages individually in the buildsystem. My hope is that using the monolithic package will make it easier to bootstrap for ghc updates and to test and experiment with HP in the future. But I still haven't made a final decision yet on changing Fedora 18 to use the single source package. The binary packages are available at http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/scratch/petersen/task_4131404/ or you can rebuild the src rpm locally if you wish to test it. Jens

package review status

Hi, Mbuf encouraged me to send a mail on current package submissions in the queue, so here it is! Main things I see in progress are work for git-annex (nearly there), snap, yesod, and yi (also hledger and happstack-server are almost ready:). Anyway current "hackages" ready for a reviewer are: - ghc-sendfile (for happstack-server): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812384 - ghc-void (for conduit-0.4): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810781 - ghc-Diff [stalled] (for yi): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=664151 Other pending packages are ghc-Agda, others under review, or maybe needing some minor changes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&component=Packa… Then there are large bunch of packages that are notready for review, mostly needing a version refresh and/or updating to current cabal2spec, and a few blocked by the current Ready review list. As usual you can find links to the various package review buglists at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Haskell_SIG#Package_reviews I hope this is helpful, do follow up with comments and any other submissions I might have missed or not highlighted here. If you update a package review which has NotReady (or notready) in the Whiteboard field then please change it to Ready so that it will show up in the Ready reviews list. Happy Packaging! Thanks, Jens
