• Diff for "Teams/DebianHaskellGroup"

Haskell is a pure functional language.

The Debian Haskell Group (DHG for friends!) is the team committed to packaging and maintaining a working and up-to-date Haskell environment and library in Debian; this wiki pages is mostly of interested to those who contribute to the DHG.

Team contacts

• General discussion mailing list: https://lists.debian.org/debian-haskell/

• Maintainer and commit lists: https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-haskell-maintainers and https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-haskell-commits

• IRC: #debian-haskell

Note that the maintainer address list (pkg-haskell-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org) tends to be very noise due to automatic mail (e.g. from the Debian archive), so discussions are easier on debian-haskell@lists.debian.org.

Team infrastructure

• Our git repositories -- to contribute to the DHG, register on Salsa and then use this link to ask for project membership; of course, you also need to subscribe to the mailing lists

• The Package Plan -- our tool to verify the consistency of our package selection. Update this before uploading packages! See the README for documentation.

• QA pages (good to check for problems)

  • binNMUs to be scheduled -- triage Failed builds, let Joachim know if there are nmus to schedule!

  • Buildd status of our package with unsupported arches hidden, compact mode.

  • permanent Haskell transition tracker

  • Status of reproducible of our packages, for unstable and testing.

• Our jenkins jobs:

  • jessie: ,

  • sid:

  • stretch→buster upgrade:

  • package-plan:

• Tables, graphs and statistics

  • Comparison of Version numbers in Debian and on Hackage

  • Dependency tree of our packages -- updated only manually; colors indicate installability

  • Graphs of our buildd usage

  • Information about ?GHC on different architectures.

• Related, external resources

  • Ubuntu wiki page

  • Git repositories for all Hackage packages, for a quick review of new versions: http://hdiff.luite.com/

Haskell packaging documentation

• /CollabMaint/GettingStarted gives basic information on how we manage our DHG package collection.

• /CollabMaint/Processes -- information on our group-internal processes

TODO list

A raw list of things to do, hoping that someday someone will start working on them...

• Fix policy, which is very old
  • Adapt it to the current best-practises and haskell-devscripts workflow

  • Description guidelines, see for example http://lists.debian.org/4C2FA27F.50303@poisson.phc.unipi.it

• Fix wiki pages, which are very old too (some examples are completely deprecated)
• Create some Lintian test specific to Haskell packages

• Libraries worth packaging: ?/PackageTODO

• Document http://anonscm.debian.org/darcs/pkg-haskell/tools/all-packages/ and related processes.
