ghc-6.4 packages for powerpc available
by Jens Petersen 12 May '05

12 May '05

FYI I added an rpm package just based on the ghc upstream ppc binary distribution. This does not mean that Fedora Haskell is going to support ppc fully soon, unless someone sends me a minimac... ;-P (BTW Fedora Core and Extras will support ppc officially in FC4.) Jens

Missing header.info for fedora 3 repository
by Dan Weston 11 May '05

11 May '05

My up2date reports a missing http://haskell.org/fedora/haskell/current/i386/RPMS.stable/headers/header.i… Replacing "current" with "3" also doesn't work. 2 does though: http://haskell.org/fedora/haskell/2/i386/RPMS.stable/headers/header.info

Try this tarball: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6.4-x86_64-unknown-linux .tar.bz2 It should be enough to get you going. The RPM does need root access unfortunately, but that's something we could fix in the future. Cheers, Simon

Fedora Haskell ghc-6.4 package is now relocatable
by Jens Petersen 11 May '05

11 May '05

An updated ghc packages for Fedora Core are now available from Fedora Haskell: <http://haskell.org/fedora/>. The ghc-doc subpackage now include all the docs - not just those of the libraries. The package is now relocatable, since this has been requested by a number of people. For x86-64 users there are also a few backported fixes. Enjoy, Jens ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Wed May 11 2005 Jens Petersen <petersen(a)haskell.org> - 6.4-7 - make package relocatable (ghc#1084122) - add post install scripts to massage prefix in driver scripts appropriately * Fri May 6 2005 Jens Petersen <petersen(a)haskell.org> - 6.4-6 - add ghc-6.4-dsforeign-x86_64-1097471.patch and ghc-6.4-rts-adjustor-x86_64-1097471.patch from trunk to improve ffi on x86_64 (Simon Marlow, ghc#1097471) - use XMLDocWays instead of SGMLDocWays to build documentation fully * Mon May 2 2005 Jens Petersen <petersen(a)haskell.org> - 6.4-5 - add rts-GCCompact.h-x86_64.patch to fix GC issue on x86_64 (Simon Marlow) * Thu Mar 17 2005 Jens Petersen <petersen(a)haskell.org> - 6.4-4 - add ghc-6.4-powerpc.patch (Ryan Lortie) - disable building interpreter rather than install and delete on x86_64

html repoviews added
by Jens Petersen 10 May '05

10 May '05

To make it easier to browse the repos and see what packages are in the Fedora Haskell yum repositories I added html views of the repos with "repoview". :) You can try the links under http://haskell.org/fedora/#repos to reach the views easily. Hopefully they are useful: for example when looking at the page of an individual package one can see recent changelog entries of the rpm package. -Jens

gtk2hs-0.9.7 for ghc-6.4 available on i386
by Jens Petersen 09 May '05

The following packages are now available for i386. gtk2hs-doc-0.9.7-2.i386.rpm gtk2hs-gconf-ghc64-0.9.7-2.i386.rpm gtk2hs-ghc64-0.9.7-2.i386.rpm gtk2hs-glade-ghc64-0.9.7-2.i386.rpm gtk2hs-glib-ghc64-0.9.7-2.i386.rpm gtk2hs-mozembed-ghc64-0.9.7-2.i386.rpm gtk2hs-sourceview-ghc64-0.9.7-2.i386.rpm Here's the changelog entry: * Mon May 9 2005 Jens Petersen <petersen(a)haskell.org> - 0:0.9.7-2 - add gtk2hs-0.9.7-ghc64.patch and build with ghc-6.4 (Duncan Coutts) - .pkg files are now .cabal files ps I also built gtk2hs on x86_64 with my patched ghc but currently all the gtk2hs demos are segfaulting for me there. I have had better luck with wxhaskell - most of the the wx samples run without segfaulting.
