rebuilding newer haskell for EL6
by Michael Ekstrand 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

I'm trying to rebuild part of F18's Haskell stack for EL6, so I can have newer packages than what EPEL currently offers, and am not quite sure how to do the initial bootstrap. I got stuff built, but had problems with it, and am concerned I may not have bootstrapped it correctly. The three packages 'ghc-rpm-macros', 'ghc', and 'hscolour' seem to be intricately interlinked, requiring bootstrap builds and then non-bootstrap rebuilds in order to work. So, could someone enlighten me on two things: 1. What is the procedure for bootstrapping a new Haskell version? Which packages do I need to bootstrap, in what order? Do I need to bump revision numbers between bootstrap and rebuild, or can I rebuild the full version with the same revision? 2. Is anything else needed? Or am I good to go rebuilding additional Haskell packages in dependency order once I've bootstrapped ghc-rpm-macros, ghc, and hscolour? TIA, - Michael

In progress: yesod-platform review request
by Michel Alexandre Salim 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear all, I've started pushing the review request for the Yesod web framework, starting top-down from ghc-yesod-platform: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=923543 As I prep SRPMs for the components it depends on, I'll add them as blocking the ghc-yesod-platform review. In doing this, I noticed several other package updates that are blocked on some of the same components (e.g. cab update depending on ghc-attoparsec-conduit being packaged, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=788515). There are also stalled reviews (I share some of the blame here myself). As the number of Haskell packages in Fedora continue to increase, we probably need to agree on a process to avoid such bottlenecks in the future, and to coordinate updates. Perhaps co-maintainers of large frameworks should officially co-maintain all the dependent components?

Getting our packages tracked on Hackage?
by Michel Alexandre Salim 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, Currently Hackage tracks the latest version of packages available in NixOS, Debian, and FreeBSD. Fedora is missing from that list, sadly. Any idea how to get our packages listed there?

ghc-7.4.2 and other updates/news
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Hi, I want to update the SIG on various news: * ghc-7.4.2 and haskell-platform-2012.4 I have started work locally testing updating rawhide to ghc-7.4.2 and haskell-platform-2012.4 RC2. If people want I can upload my local ghc-7.4.2 and haskell-platform builds for testing. Overall the results so far are fairly good. Only a few remaining packages have problems: - Agda (constructor issue) - happstack-server (blaze-html or new deps) - hledger-lib-0.19 needs shakespeare-text (review pending) - xss-sanitize (css-text not imported yet!) but they should be fixable by F19 time. I plan to build ghc-7.4.2 for Rawhide within the next week. * Updating packages to latest versions We have a lot of packages that need a version refresh. Now is a great time to bump your packages in git master. Building for rawhide is also ok but not really necessary right now since everything will need rebuilding shortly soon anyway. I really need your help with this, but if you don't have time to do it I will start touching packages generally in the coming week or so. * cabal-rpm update I have been using cabal-rpm to refresh a few packages by hand and I am going to release 0.6.5 soon with some smaller tweaks and improvements: the biggest visible change being no longer using version-ranged BRs since I think this has too much maintenance overhead at least until cabal-rpm can do updating of packages. * Haskell Platform and ghc versions I am wondering how closely we should follow Haskell Platform going forward since the releases are not well synced with Fedora's schedule and upstream so far refused to shift its schedule... As such I quite like following HP - it is gives us a certain stability and certainty of base versions, but also understand that some people want to have the latest versions available and live on the bleeding edge. Personally I am leaning towards doing more backporting - I am thinking to backport ghc-7.4.2 and haskell-platform-2012.4 to F18 for example (after it has gone to rawhide). If there is demand we could also backport ghc-7.4.1 to F17 perhaps or I could make a yum repo for it from the F18 packages. Ubuntu-12.10 just recently shipped with ghc-7.4.2. What do people think? How important is it to have the official haskell-platform in Fedora? Another side issue is that I somewhat cavalierly made haskell-platform into a monolithic package in F18, thinking this would decrease its update/build time. This unfortunately means if we weren't going to follow HP closely we would probably need to re-review all the HP packages again... :-/ Jens

updating hakyll and pandoc for F19
by Michael Ekstrand 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

I see that there are open bugs for updating Hakyll[1] and Pandoc[2]. I would very much like to see the new versions in Fedora 19; is there anything I can do to help make that happen? Has packaging on http-conduit and lrucache begun? - Michael 1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=892584 2. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=901990
