following Stackage

Hi, It has been pretty quiet here recently... At the end of last month I attended FUDCon in Pune and gave a talk there on Haskell. Anyway I wanted to mention one recent Haskell change that was implemented in Fedora recently. I added a Stackage backend to Anitya (in addition to the Hackage one) and https://release-monitoring.org/ was updated so that the Haskell packages in Stackage now track Stackage rather than Hackage directly. Thanks to Pingou for his help with this operation! There are still about 80 of our packages not (yet) in Stackage: http://paste.fedoraproject.org/246720/43753298/ I think currently we are just tracking Stackage Nightly but in the future we may want to track LTS or a specific LTS major/minor version even. So from now on when packaging, please use the latest version from Stackage not Hackage when available: I guess I should update cabal-rpm to do that. And when registering new packages in release-monitoring.org, please use the Stackage backend instead of Hackage when your package is included in Stackage. Also particularly when updating packages please follow the package version in Stackage as far as possible not the latest version in Hackage. This should reduce the risk of revdep breakage when updating packages. As usual I also suggest to limit version updates particularly of libraries as far as possible for current Fedora releases to reduce our workload. Generally minor library version updates within a Fedora release provide little valuable to users compared to the amount of work needed for rebuilding consumers of the library so let's not go out of our way to create extra unnecessary work for ourselves. Any questions or comments? Thanks, Jens
