How to help?

[Sébastien Willmann]

Hi, I would like to help packaging haskell rpms for fedora. Is any specific
help needed, or do I just start packaging the packages I wish?

I’m interested in yesod, and I see that a review request already exists,
but it seems inactive. Is there any problem?

Regards,

Sébastien Willmann (FAS: wilqu)

Welcome aboard!

No specific problem, just inertia -- there's a huge number of
dependencies, not enough reviewers, and not many tangible milestones
on the path to having Yesod available.

Feel free to take over any review requests I filed, and ping me if you
want to swap reviews (I have several easy reviews for non-Haskell
packages I'd like to get in).

Best regards,

Welcome! 
Perhaps you have seen our wiki page and irc channel already by now? 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Haskell_SIG

Thanks for taking some reviews already! :)

http://bit.ly/fedora-haskell-new-reviews2 is the current list of new package reviews. 
Right now I am working on unsubpackaging the haskell-platform libraries and tools 
into separate packages (currently sync, regex-compat, and network are waiting for review). 
Some of the other package review either block various package updates or are considered interesting. 
Help is very welcome and needed on the Review side.

Of course you are also welcome to submit reviews: I would recommend targeting 
a specific program, test framework, library stack (eg clientsession or persistent).

Right, we have tried to tackle it for a while but progress has been slow 
and it has also been quite a fast moving target in the past - 
it might be a little easier now perhaps. Debian and Ubuntu have it 
so it would be nice to have it packaged for Fedora too. 
Yesod-core is close to done except for clientsession!

If you have more questions please ask.
