Please have a look at the review template here [1] . Some items from the Package review guidelines which do not apply are marked [NA].
The cabal2spec program generates the template for the .spec file from the .cabal file. Then the packager modifies certain values and thats about it. The macros used in the template come from /etc/rpm/macros.ghc. There are cases were there is a need to add some files not picked by the macros and that has been done. Eg [2]
For haskell packaging/review related queries , you could also mail to fedora-haskell-list@xxxxxxxxxx or ask at #fedora-haskell .
-Thanks

I recently came across an issue in a package review where I would
appreciate guidance. ÂIn particular, I have never dealt with Haskell
packages before, and I haven't been able to find enough detail in the
Haskell Packaging Guidelines to answer my questions:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Haskell
It seems that there's a tool called cabal2spec that autogenerates spec
files for Haskell programs. ÂHowever, the spec files that it outputs are
a little unusual.
The spec file I'm reviewing has no %package sections and no %files
sections. ÂInstead, there is a reference to a "%{?ghc_lib_package}"
macro that implicitly defines the package and two subpackages. ÂThe
Haskell Packaging Guidelines don't seem to describe how all of the magic
works, so I'm not quite sure what standards I'm supposed to use in my
review. ÂHere's a link to the package request:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=662258
It looks like other Haskell libraries are packaged in a similar way, but
it's enough different from most packages that the Package Review
Guidelines don't seem to cleanly apply. ÂI would appreciate advice on
how to proceed. ÂThanks.
