[Fedora-haskell-list] New haskell packages for Fedora

[Jens Petersen]

Hi Lakshmi, 


Haskell packaging contributions to Fedora are always welcome: cc'ing haskell-devel list. 


> I did some packaging work for a haskell project and in the process created rpms for some libraries as well. 
> I would like to submit them for Fedora 13. Can you let me know how to get started on this? 


Please cabal2spec for packaging cabal packages to Fedora. 
I recommend looking at the current packages to get a clear 
idea of how we are doing. And suggestions for improvements 
to our packaging are welcome too. 


> Am I supposed to get some accounts approved for this purpose? 


Yes, Haskell SIG is just a group of interested people working together on 
packaging Haskell for Fedora. 


> I couldn't get required information from Haskell SIG webpage and from haskell-devel list at fedora project as well. 


There is no special process for Haskell packages, except the Haskell Packaging Guidelines 
(which need some updating anyway) - you just follow the usual path to become a packager 
through sponsorship in the Package review process. 


You can also ask questions on our little #fedora-haskell channel: we have about one 
person in each of Asia, US, and Europe. 


Hope that helps, 


Jens
