Hi,
Things have been quiet lately so I thought I would send out this mail with a few updates.
Finally [[Packaging:Haskell]] has been updated to our new revised Haskell Packaging Guidelines! (They were approved a while back but somehow had "slipped between the cracks" it seems. Anyway they should be announced soon but are already published now. [1]
Our Yesod Change Feature seems kind of stalled again. I guess I will pump some packages out for the clientsession stack (6 deps). Then we should be able to build yesod-core.
I started off the process of unpackaging haskell-platform! At the time (F18) I thought it was good idea to subpackage all of haskell-platform into a monolithic but no, I now see it as a mistake which I would like to undo. While the mega-package is good when HP is released, it seems much better and simpler for development to have separate packages. So I beg for help with reviewing the package re-reviews. If we could finish it before F21 that would be great. My first goal is to have cabal-install and its deps repackaged. Currently mtl and random are ready waiting in the review queue. Help is also welcome if you are interested in owning some of Haskell Platform. :)
I made a short url http://bit.ly/1d4GLuT for the list of New Ready package reviews to make it easier for people to find Haskell packages that need reviewing. I put it in the #fedora-haskell channel topic too for reference.
Lastly, as I announced I made a people repo ghc-7.7 in preparation for the coming ghc-7.8 release - we may start to see RC's next month perhaps?
