Haskell SIG

Mission

The mission of the Haskell Special Interest Group is to maintain, grow, and guide the packaging of Haskell projects in Fedora.

Communication

Mailing lists

We have two mailing-lists:

• haskell (archives) for general discussion
• haskell-devel (archives) for bugzilla traffic.

IRC

We have an #fedora-haskell^[?] channel on libera.chat.

Meetings

There are biweekly office hours in IRC #fedora-haskell: check the SIGs calendar and our mailing-list for details.

Updates

Package versions

GHC and Stackage LTS versions

• F35 has ghc-8.10.5 and Stackage LTS 18
• F34 has ghc-8.8.4 and Stackage LTS 16
• EPEL8 currently has ghc-8.2.2, but update planned to ghc-8.4.4
• EPEL7 has ghc-7.6.3 and haskell-platform-2013.2.0.0

See Haskell_Stackage_LTS and Haskell_Platform for older releases.

See Haskell_GHC_LLVM for llvm version requirements.

GHC modules

The following module streams are currently available for current Fedora releases:

• ghc:9.2 (9.2.1-alpha2)
• ghc:9.0 (9.0.1)
• ghc:8.10 (8.10.5)
• ghc:8.8 (8.8.4)

Haskell Coprs

• https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/haskell-language-server/
• https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/cabal-install/
• https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/stack2/
• https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/pandoc/
• https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/hlint/
• (https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/stack/ old v1)

Coprs for EPEL 6 & 7 only

For newer versions of ghc you can use the following:

• https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/ghc-8.4.4/ (*)
• https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/ghc-8.2.2/ (*)
• https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/ghc-8.0.2/ (*)
• https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/ghc-7.10.3/ (*)
• https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/ghc-7.8.4/ (*)
• https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/idris/

(*) if you have Fedora Haskell libraries installed which are not part of ghc, you will need to remove them all first (easiest just to remove ghc-base) to avoid package dependency conflicts

Tasks

• add cabal-install to module streams
• help improve FedoraReview/plugins/haskell.py
• docsbeat
• document ghc and package update workflow (GHC_Update_SOP)
• package larger subset of LTS in Copr

Packaging

New Package Process

• Please use cabal-rpm to generate packages for submitting a package review request.
  • It should follow the current Haskell Packaging Guidelines.
  • Please add haskell-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org to the CC list for your review request bug.
• You can use cabal-rpm diff when reviewing packages to check differences from the templates.
• New packages can optionally be added to https://release-monitoring.org/ to track Stackage (or Hackage if not in Stackage).

Package reviews

"ghc" or "haskell" package reviews

Other links:

• Closed haskell-devel package reviews
• Old Haskell-pkg-reviews tracker is no longer used

(Previously we tracked package review requests CC to haskell-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org:

Open haskell-devel package reviews which are split into

• New unassigned reviews (bit.ly/fedora-haskell-new-reviews2)
• Ongoing assigned reviews
  • Assigned reviews
  • Approved open reviews (fedora-review+)
• NotReady stalled reviews

)

Bugs

Non-review bugs can be split into:

• All open URM bugs (saved as haskell-available)
  • Untriaged URM bugs (saved as haskell-available:untriaged)
  • Triaged no missing deps (saved as haskell-available:ok)
  • Triaged missing deps (saved as haskell-available:deps)
• Package bugs
• Tracker for libraries with no revdeps
• ghc bugs not CC haskell-sig

All open Haskell bugs

See also the package review links in the Packaging section.
