help needed with Haskell Platform for ghc-7.8
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

Hi Haskell SIG, As some of you may be aware the release of ghc-7.8 is approaching (probably in Dec) and I would like to move Rawhide to it soon after that. This would mean moving ahead of official Haskell-Platform (other distros are already doing this now). For this I would like to advance the repackaging of haskell-platform subpackages into individual packages. Currently mtl and zlib package reviews are ready in the queue. If some people could help to review those that would be great and I will prepare some more. I think cabal-install just needs additionally HTTP -> network -> parsec (-> mtl), so that is my initial target for ghc-7.8.1, if we can do more then even better! With the fedora-review tool, reviews should not take long. The main job is probably just checking the content of the spec file and that the license tag is correct. Jens ps On another topic I thinking to drop package filelist generation in F21 and just list files explicitly generated by cabal-rpm of course - the files are highly predictably so it would be one more step in simplifying our packaging for greater transparency. And to add static subpackages for 7.8. pps I am also still keen to have a Haskell Spin finally in Fedora but now I am not sure how that is going to pan out in the new world of Fedora Products and WGs... we shall see.

cabal-rpm update and ghc-7.7
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hi, Let me share a little news on cabal-rpm and ghc development: I have just released cabal-rpm-0.8.6 (currently Fedora updates has 0.8.3). The total changes are: - use repoquery to determine extra C library dependencies - quote "pkgconfig(foo)" for rpm query and yum install - show sudo command before sudo password prompt appears - exclude hsc2hs from build tool deps - devel provides ghc-<pkg>-static - drop release from initial changelog entry for packager to add an entry - do not try to fetch tarball for a darcs or git source dir - make cblrpm-diff quieter In the next release I will probably change to using explicit %files (ie drop the use of generated filelists (they are highly predictably). I have been doing some test building of ghc-7.7 in preparation for the coming ghc-7.8 release. Some good news is that it seems ghc will shared dyn libraries on all architectures (see the latest untested ARM packages in http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/petersen/ghc-7.7/fedora-20/armv7hl/). This should help simplify the packaging going forward with not having to worry about whether or not there are shared libs or not depending on the arch. Additionally it seems ghc is longer so dependent on static libraries so I am planning to add -static subpackages to F21 for ghc-7.8. I built a newer snapshot I created yesterday and uploaded it to http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/petersen/ghc-7.7/ . Jens
