In progress: yesod-platform review request

Dear all,

I've started pushing the review request for the Yesod web framework,
starting top-down from ghc-yesod-platform:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=923543

As I prep SRPMs for the components it depends on, I'll add them as
blocking the ghc-yesod-platform review.

In doing this, I noticed several other package updates that are
blocked on some of the same components (e.g. cab update depending on
ghc-attoparsec-conduit being packaged,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=788515). There are also
stalled reviews (I share some of the blame here myself).

As the number of Haskell packages in Fedora continue to increase, we
probably need to agree on a process to avoid such bottlenecks in the
future, and to coordinate updates. Perhaps co-maintainers of large
frameworks should officially co-maintain all the dependent components?

Thanks,

Yes I agree I think we need co-ownership/maintainership of stacks
to allow easier rebuilding.  At the same time I am also fleshing out
some scripts that should make rebuilding for version bumps easier.

I think our Yesod feature is behind schedule and probably won't be
accepted as an official f19 feature unless we have a miracle,
but as I wrote before that should not discourage us from pushing forward. :)

Thanks, Jens

Michel, thank you for your recent reviews - very helpful!
