The Fedora Haskell SIG works to provide good Haskell support in the Fedora
Project Linux distribution.

For the Fedora 28 release on 1st May, ghc was updated to 8.2.2 and packages to Stackage LTS 10 versions.
Also the shared dynamic libraries now live in system libdir.
Over 30 new packages were added to Fedora 28.
We use the cabal-rpm packaging tool to create and update Haskell packages, and
fedora-haskell-tools to rebuild them.

For the next release we plan to update to LTS 11, and also to do some packaging changes to subpackage haddock documentation for libraries.

A Fedora Copr repo is available for ghc-8.4.2.

If you are interested in Fedora Haskell packaging, please join our
mailing-list and the Freenode \mbox{\#fedora-haskell} channel. You can also
follow @@fedorahaskell for occasional updates.
