I was interesting in grabbing some packages for FC6, and found that nothing is available. I could spend a bit of time rebuilding existing SRPMs, if anyone might find them useful.

Most RPMs are now in Fedora Extras: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/ yum install <package> should work out of the box. Regards, Zun.

I'd qualify that as "some" :-) Several important packages are not present, such as cpphs, haddock and hs-plugins. There's also a bunch of useful stuff that has not been packaged, such as HXT and HAppS. Perhaps it's not worth the effort of formally packaging these libraries up. I just thought I'd canvass, because I wouldn't mind doing it if people might use them :-)
