The xmonad dev team is pleased to announce xmonad 0.8!
<snip> Fedora Packages have been built for Fedora 9. They are available at http://ynemoy.fedorapeople.org/repo Which is also a valid yum repo. There are also spec files and SRPMs so you can build it for other archs and/or other distros. The macros you need are not yet available in Fedora, and that's a whole issue in it of itself, so if you're interested in doing some building, please contact me for assistance. They are on their way to being included in Fedora 9 and 10. I'm happy to report that we finally have some packaging guidelines available for creating RPMs for Fedora. There is still some discussion on how to bring these standards upstream to rpm in the future as well. Currently my xmonad packages are sitting in package review as hopefully the first haskell rpms to be included based on the new packaging guidelines. We're slowly but surely getting there to have xmonad properly supported in Fedora. In the meanwhile, please continue using my repo above, and make sure to give them some extra good testing. Once the packages are in Fedora proper, there won't actually be any changes you need to make to switch to the officially blessed versions. -Yaakov
