ghc82 and packages and f28 building update
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

Hi, I have been busy quietly building Haskell packages for F28 in the f28-ghc side repo. Overall it is going quite well but I have one serious packaging issue which I think needs the packaging of the data-default-instannces-* subpackages to be reviewed asap, I believe. There is an upstream ghc bug related to this but I have not seen a patch yet. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1539317 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1539318 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1539319 If people could help to review these 3 packages ASAP that would be really awesome and hopefully still give us a chance to finish the GHC 8.2 + LTS 10 Change work for F28 before the mass rebuild next week. (For extra fun currently Haskell packages don't build in Rawhide due to "-z defs" now being set in redhat-rpm-config (though this change?). I have disabled this in latest ghc-rpm-macros in f28-ghc but I didn't backport it yet to Rawhide, since it is still under discussion.) Please also note the coming packaging change that libHS*.so shared libs will now be installed in %_libdir (eg /usr/lib64/) and so we will need to run ldconfig install scripts (already in git master for most packages now). A coming cabal-rpm release will do this too. Also I would like to encourage Hackage package maintainers to try to follow Stackage LTS versions rather than Hackage as far as possible, since this will pretty much guarantee build consistency across our package set. Cabal-rpm already does this today in F27+. Thanks, and let me know if you have any comments, concerns or questions. Jens

Re: GHC and GHCi man pages?

One thing you could do is to bisect when we lost the manpages: ie compare the spec files and koji log files. I think it happened from ghc-8.0.2? Probably something to do with sphinx.

Hi Sergio, Yeah, I opened a upstream bug, but seems it is a Fedora issue. (Not that the man pages are that complete as I recall - maybe they have improved?) Any help resolving that is most welcome!
