*** Bug 630202 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Some remarks prior to a full review:

* Seems https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Haskell is out of date. It does not mention %ghc_lib_build, %ghc_lib_install or %ghc_lib_package, and has broken links to cvs.fedoraproject.org and also broken links to git.fedorahosted.org. Nevertheless, the specfile is auto-generated, and thus mostly identical to spectemplate-ghc-lib.spec, so I'll assume it's ok.

* The aforementioned wiki page says: "When packaging things out of Hackage or other sources, you may find that the summary or description is incomplete or lacks detail. Please try to include an appropriate summary and adequate description for Fedora of the library or program in the package so users will know what it does." This is clearly missing here. Not even all three lines of summary present in Hackage are included in the summary, but even those are a bit thin.

* rpmlint says: ghc-mtlparse.x86_64: W: executable-stack /usr/lib64/ghc-6.12.1/mtlparse-0.0.1/libHSmtlparse-0.0.1-ghc6.12.1.so - Could that cause any problems, e.g. with selinux?

Yes - I have started revising them:

but not finished yet.

From my earlier comment:

[...] "Please try to include an appropriate summary and adequate description for Fedora of the library or program in the package so users will know what it does." This is clearly missing here. Not even all three lines of summary present in Hackage are included in the summary, and even those are a bit thin.

Here's my review.

[+]MUST: rpmlint must be run on every package. The output should be posted in the review.
rpmlint  -i ghc-mtlparse*.rpm ghc-mtlparse.spec 
ghc-mtlparse.src: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) Haskell -> Gaskell, Gaitskell, Skellum
The value of this tag appears to be misspelled. Please double-check.

ghc-mtlparse.src: W: strange-permission mtlparse-0.1.1.tar.gz 0640L
A file that you listed to include in your package has strange permissions.
Usually, a file should have 0644 permissions.

ghc-mtlparse.src: W: strange-permission ghc-mtlparse.spec 0640L
A file that you listed to include in your package has strange permissions.
Usually, a file should have 0644 permissions.

ghc-mtlparse.x86_64: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) Haskell -> Gaskell, Gaitskell, Skellum
The value of this tag appears to be misspelled. Please double-check.

ghc-mtlparse-devel.x86_64: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) Haskell -> Gaskell, Gaitskell, Skellum
The value of this tag appears to be misspelled. Please double-check.

ghc-mtlparse-prof.x86_64: E: devel-dependency ghc-mtlparse-devel
Your package has a dependency on a devel package but it's not a devel package
itself.

ghc-mtlparse-prof.x86_64: W: no-documentation
The package contains no documentation (README, doc, etc). You have to include
documentation files.

ghc-mtlparse-prof.x86_64: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/lib64/ghc-6.12.3/mtlparse-0.1.1/libHSmtlparse-0.1.1_p.a
A development file (usually source code) is located in a non-devel package. If
you want to include source code in your package, be sure to create a
development package.

Honestly, is it really that hard to put a meaningful description in the spec file?

Ah, oops. Missed `cabal info` on this one and the '!' flags in mutt got missed on the emails, sorry.
