Current status

Targeted release: Fedora Next
Last updated: 2013-07-08
Tracker bug: #998552

Detailed Description

This is a packaging effort: the Yesod stack of packages requires quite a lot of new Haskell libraries to be added to Fedora. Some basic packages have already been done for a long time but there are a lot left to be added.

Benefit to Fedora

Yesod is probably the most high profile Web framework for Haskell, and also described in a book. Since building it all by hand oneself can be non-trivial, tedious, and time consuming it is to Fedora's advantage that developers will be able to install it easily. Yesod is already included in Debian, Ubuntu and some other Linux distributions.

Scope

Proposal owners: Yesod stack of libraries will be packaged following package versions in latest yesod-platform (currently 1.2.2):

Package yesod-core and its dependencies including clientsession (dep tree)
Package yesod and its dependencies

How To Test

Install with: yum install yesod
Run: yesod init
In created directory run: yesod devel
Access to http://localhost:3000/

User Experience

Users will be able to install Yesod directly without having to build it all themselves, making it easier to learn, test and development web applications in Haskell using Yesod.
