GODI allows one to identify newer packages, select those we want to

Thanks for those links.
As a Fedora user, I'm relying on the Haskell SIG work and using the ghc-* RPM packages. When a given Hackage package has not been packaged in Fedora yet, I'm using cabal to supplement but I think that's sub-optimal (from a sysadmin perspective). I'm looking at ways to actually build my own RPMs following their standards. As it's mentioned in one of the article, someone has had the trouble to figure out which packages work best together.
I wonder if you could throw some light on this?
Say you just have to use the 'sub-optimal' solution and cabal install some package foo.
Later it appears in the rpm list and you can yum install it.
How do you now cabal uninstall foo?
