[headsup] Haskell Platform 2012.2 coming soon to Rawhide
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen
Hi,
Just a quick heads-up that haskell-platform in Rawhide
will be soon be updated to the new 2012.4 release. [1]
As usual there will be quite a bit of dependency breakage
while all the reverse dependencies get rebuilt:
I have already tested it locally and committed
required changes to git. At the same time we will also
be updating various libraries to their latest versions.
In other Haskell news, ghc-7.4.2 was finally released. [2]
I am still a bit split on whether we should ship
it in F18. It is a bugfix release but it is not clear
yet if Haskell Platform will see an official release
in time for F18 - it needs a change to their schedule anyway,
which is under discussion. ghc-7.4.2 also has ghci support for ARM.
I guess it comes down to whether we give priority to
ghc or haskell-platform: e.g. Ubuntu 12.04 shipped
ghc-7.4.1 and an unofficial haskell-platform-2012.1
(whereas F17 is still on ghc-7.0.4 and the last official
haskell-platform-2011.4 release).
Debian is currently transitioning ghc-7.4.1 and
haskell-platform-2012.2 to testing too.

Haskell Platform 2012.2.0.0
by Jens Petersen
Hi,
I made a test build of a monolithic subpackaged build of Haskell
Platform 2012.2.0.0.
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4131404
You can test it with the ghc-7.4.1 in F18 rawhide.
I am considering moving to this monolithic package for F18,
since it speeds up building HP considerably (there is very
little churn of individual HP libraries and packages anyway) and
it also makes it a lot easier to test and experiment with
Haskell Platform.
Feedback is welcome.
Jens
ps I had to make some more fixes to the build for ppc
- I plan to commit the final changes soon to git.

Thanks
I finally managed to get my new monolithic Fedora build with
subpackaging working.
Haskell Platform might be the hardest package I have ever subpackaged...
Then again I don't think anyone else subpackages ghc fully?
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4131404
The build takes about 20 minutes but that is still a lot faster
then building all the packages individually in the buildsystem.
My hope is that using the monolithic package will make
it easier to bootstrap for ghc updates and to test and experiment
with HP in the future. But I still haven't made a final decision
yet on changing Fedora 18 to use the single source package.
The binary packages are available at
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/scratch/petersen/task_4131404/
or you can rebuild the src rpm locally if you wish to test it.

package review status
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen
Hi,
Mbuf encouraged me to send a mail on current package submissions in the queue, so here it is!
Main things I see in progress are work for git-annex (nearly there), snap, yesod, and yi
(also hledger and happstack-server are almost ready:).
Anyway current "hackages" ready for a reviewer are:
- ghc-sendfile (for happstack-server): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812384
- ghc-void (for conduit-0.4): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810781
- ghc-Diff [stalled] (for yi): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=664151
Other pending packages are ghc-Agda, others under review, or maybe needing some minor changes:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&component=Pac...
Then there are large bunch of packages that are notready for review,
mostly needing a version refresh and/or updating to current cabal2spec,
and a few blocked by the current Ready review list.
As usual you can find links to the various package review buglists at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Haskell_SIG#Package_reviews
I hope this is helpful, do follow up with comments and any other
submissions I might have missed or not highlighted here.
If you update a package review which has NotReady (or notready) in the
Whiteboard field then please change it to Ready so that it will
show up in the Ready reviews list.
Happy Packaging!
Thanks, Jens
