Hi,
Things have been quiet lately so I thought I would send
out this mail with a few updates.
Finally [[Packaging:Haskell]] has been updated to our new revised
Haskell Packaging Guidelines! (They were approved a while back
but somehow had "slipped between the cracks" it seems.
Anyway they should be announced soon but are already published now. [1]
Our Yesod Change Feature seems kind of stalled again. I guess I will
pump some packages out for the clientsession stack (6 deps).
Then we should be able to build yesod-core.
I started off the process of unpackaging haskell-platform!
At the time (F18) I thought it was good idea to subpackage
all of haskell-platform into a monolithic but no, I now see
it as a mistake which I would like to undo. While the
mega-package is good when HP is released, it seems much better
and simpler for development to have separate packages.
So I beg for help with reviewing the package re-reviews.
If we could finish it before F21 that would be great.
My first goal is to have cabal-install and its deps repackaged.
Currently mtl and random are ready waiting in the review queue.
Help is also welcome if you are interested in owning
some of Haskell Platform. :)
I made a short url <http://bit.ly/1d4GLuT> for the
list of New Ready package reviews to make it easier
for people to find Haskell packages that need reviewing.
I put it in the #fedora-haskell channel topic too for
reference.
Lastly, as I announced I made a people repo ghc-7.7 in
preparation for the coming ghc-7.8 release -
we may start to see RC's next month perhaps?

I fixed some issues with the autogenerated dependencies
so the packages should install now properly. The packages also
seem to install under Fedora 19 though I didn't test them there.

ps the build is again with ghc-7.6.3:

I setup an experimental Fedora 20 repo for ghc-7.7 at
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/petersen/ghc-7.7
which currently has builds of ghc-7.7.20130828 for x86_64, i686, and
armv7hl without profiling.
Let me know if you notice any problems with it.
Thanks, Jens
