hs-plugins-0.9.8 update available
by Jens Petersen 23 Feb '05

hs-plugins has been updated to 0.9.8 for i386. There is also a first untested build for x86_64, though it doesn't work with released ghc as is at least, so it is more of a curiousity. Jens

Announce: Cabal2rpm
by Tom Moertel 22 Feb '05

I would like to announce the availability of cabal2rpm, a tool that converts Cabal package descriptions into RPM spec files. Get it here: http://community.moertel.com/ss/space/Cabal2rpm Description: This tool converts Haskell Cabal package-descriptions (.cabal files) into RPM spec files. It makes reasonable guesses at what should go in the specs, but because ``Cabalized'' tarballs presently do not have a standardized layout and naming conventions, you may need to make some adjustments. The syntax for using cabal2rpm is as follows: cabal2rpm package.cabal [name=value...] > package.spec The resulting RPM spec file can be fed to rpmbuild to build binary packages. Note: All packages built by cabal2rpm are targeted to a specific release of GHC from the Fedora Haskell project. Thus if you build Cabal for GHC 6.2.2, you will end up with the following RPMs: cabal-ghc622-0.5-1.i386.rpm cabal-ghc622-debuginfo-0.5-1.i386.rpm cabal-ghc622-0.5-1.src.rpm Cheers, Tom

More Fedora RPMs available: WASH/CGI, Emacs Haskell mode, HaskellDB, and HSQL
by Tom Moertel 22 Feb '05

Dear Fedora Haskell users, I have packaged a few Haskell-related RPMs for Fedora Core. Right now, the packages are on my Community Projects site, but I would welcome the opportunity to migrate them to the official Fedora Haskell repository. You can access the repository here: http://community.moertel.com/ss/space/RPMs Here are the Haskell-related packages that I have: * Emacs Haskell mode -- Emacs major mode for editing Haskell code. * WashNGo -- The complete set of Web Authoring System Haskell (WASH) libraries as in one convenient, ready-to-roll RPM. (WASH/CGI is an embedded, domain-specific language for server-side Web scripting.) * HaskellDB -- Provides support for ODBC, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. Requires HSQL, either my GHC HSQL package (see next item) or HToolkit's HSQL package. * HSQL. Provides support for ODBC, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. (The spec file for my packaging was based on the one provided by Conny Andersson for the HToolkit project.) I welcome any packaging feedback or criticisms you may have. In particular, if you encounter any problems with these packages, please let me know. Cheers, Tom
