Hi,
I made a F19 test repo for ghc-7.6.3.x86_64.
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/petersen/ghc-7.6.3/
I am still waiting for a new Haskell Platform which should
happen soon hopefully before moving to build ghc-7.6.3 in Rawhide.

Hi,
Based on the initial feedback from FPC on the draft revision of
the Haskell Packaging Guidelines I have revised and simplified them:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Haskell .
I updated the trac ticket and would appreciate if FPC would
please review the new version which I think should now be
more generic and acceptable.

Thanks, Jens
Hi,
For those not following the FPC ticket [1]
here is a short update on the progress for updating our
Haskell Packaging Guidelines to reflect our current
packaging style.
The Fedora Packaging Committee finally had a chance to
review the draft last week and in the end had some reservations
about the overuse of ghc_* macros in the current Packaging draft
(eg %ghc_files, %ghc_devel_package, etc) so I have revised
the new draft templates to remedy this:
http://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/haskell-sig.git/plain/packaging-templates/
The Bin template was basically approved and is unchanged:
so the changes are to the ghc-Lib and BinLib templates.
I am pretty happy with the outcome: I think this will be a win for everyone
- finally we will have normal %package and %files sections again
so it will be easier to control package headers and manifests.
Also I think we can simply the templates by dropped %common_summary
and %common_description they are not really specific to Haskell packaging
and are not strictly needed.
Comments are welcome and I will start work soon on reworking the Draft
to reflect this simpler packaging that should be much more readable
for all Fedora Packagers. I will also push a new version of cabal-rpm
soon that reflects the name templating, and also a new ghc-rpm-macros.
Once it has been approved then I plan to update all package spec files in master
to follow the new Guidelines - it would be nice also to backport to F19
but that may be too late now, but at least all new accepted package reviews
will have to use the new templates I am afraid, so package review submissions
will need to be updated, sorry.
Thanks, Jens
