[arch-haskell] New version of haskell-archlinux package, with maintainer scripts

[Don Stewart]

Hey guys,

The first cut at public scripts for group maintainership of packages in
in the arch-haskell package in AUR. This is very much an experimental
release. If you play with these scripts, I'd love some feedback and patches.

These are most of the tools I use to manage the AUR / Hackage project, including:


 * Get a list of all packages maintained by arch-haskell

    $ mypackages | sort > arch-haskell-packages.txt

    $ wc -l arch-haskell-packages.txt 
    1873 arch-haskell-packages.txt


 * Generate the Hackage <-> AUR mapping file for Hackage.

    $ distro-map
    --> creates http://www.galois.com/~dons/cabalArchMap.txt used by Hackage.

        TODO: host this in the code.haskell.org/arch repo, for group
        maintainership, update Hackage to look here.


 * Generate the QA report of versions, build success etc.
    + Assumes you have the arch-haskell-packages.txt file (generated above),
    + and a ~/.build-all.log with format "haskell-parameterized-data True" indicating build status
    + uses the download stats for Hackage: http://www.galois.com/~dons/hackage/hackage-downloads.csv

    $ arch-report

    --> creates http://code.haskell.org/arch/arch-haskell-status.html

 * find the AUR url for a package:

    $ get-arch-url haskell-json
    http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17480


Some of these tools are hacked enough that they assume the user has
files that you might not have access to, however, they should give you
an idea of some of the tasks that can be automated.

Not included are the shell scripts for updating the RSS feed (yet).

My plan is to continue to:

    * keep documenting the group maintainer process,
          http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Arch_Linux/Arch_Haskell_Group_Maintainership

    * improve and simplify the scripts so they can be easily installed
          by any future arch-haskell group maintainers

    * once the arch-haskell package process is all sorted and
      repeatable, do some training with gour et al to begin group
      maintainership.
