Comment (by petersen):

 I would like to request that all haskell-sig packages be excluded from the
 mass rebuild.
 I can attach a list of the packages in a convenient form here.

 I have started updating quite a number of libraries and packages in git
 master already
 in preparation for landing ghc-7.8 soon, and building those packages
 prematurely
 will very likely cause noticeable breakage of rawhide, so I would like
 to take responsibility for rebuilding all the Fedora Haskell packages
 later this month
 as part of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GHC_7.8.

 Replying to [comment:2 jreznik]:
 > There's also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GHC_7.8 - if there
 are no ordering requirements for the haskell-using packages the F21 mass
 rebuild could be used for rebuilding them (from
 https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1275).

 (Rebuilding would be okay if all the git HEADs were already built in
 rawhide but this is not the case and yes there are strong ordering
 requirements when versions change.)

 It will probably be another week or two before we are ready to build
 ghc-7.8 in Rawhide,
 hopefully with a new 7.8.3 upstream bugfix release which is due soon.
