I've uploaded source RPMs and Linux RPMs (glibc) of the following programs
to our FTP server ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/pub/local/pms :

   * Alex: Chris Dornan's scanner generator for Haskell

   * GHC: The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System (from CVS)

   * Green Card: A foreign function interface preprocessor for Haskell

   * Happy: An LALR(1) parser generator for Haskell

   * Haskell Direct: An IDL compiler for Haskell

   * Hugs98: A Haskell Interpreter

Examples:

   * Installing Hugs98 on your system:

        rpm -i 
ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/pub/local/pms/hugs98-990121-1.i386.rpm

   * Upgrading to the latest and greatest GHC:

        rpm -U ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/pub/local/pms/ghc-4.03-1.i386.rpm

   * Building Happy locally:

        rpm -i ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/pub/local/pms/happy-1.5-1.src.rpm
        rpm -ba --clean /usr/src/packages/SPECS/happy.spec

All binary RPMs install below /usr. IMHO, using a separate hierarchy
like /usr/local is rather pointless with RPM's extensive bookkeeping.

To the ex-Glaswegians: If I read its license correctly, Happy is freely
distributable and GHC's status is changing "real soon now". But what
about Haskell Direct?

Have fun,
   Sven
