Yeah, i was gonna do that in one fell swoop. If someone could finish that
review, it'll mean i won't have to bother putting in a temporary fix in the
xmonad-fc11 package.

Thanks, F11 build needs to be tweaked or wait for ghc-rpm-macros.

Now that the first Haskell Platform release is out, we'll have to retool our
Haskell packaging to handle it. Fun! :-\
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell_Platform
The thing that's tricky is that the Platform is a combination of libraries
and tools, combining the old "extralibs" GHC tarball with several libraries
and tools that we already package.
Ideally, there would be some way to run "yum install ghc-platform" and have
all the right things pulled in, but RPM doesn't have an apt-like notion of
metapackages. I guess we could have ghc-platform be like basesystem, a
package that is just a list of requires and provides.
Here would be my suggested steps.
1. Don't worry about repackaging existing packages unless there's a newer
version specified by the Platform.
2. Shrink the ghc package down to just GHC and core libraries.
3. Create a new package that we manage independently, called maybe
ghc-platform-devel, that contains the former extralibs.
4. Create a new "meta" package that requires ghc, ghc-platform-devel, the
various libraries that we already package separately, cabal-install, alex,
and happy.
Does this sound reasonable?

The License should be GPLv2+ at least or maybe even GPLv3.
Not sure if ghc-rpm-macros should not require ghc - macros.ghc is not really
useful without it.
On the other hand any package that uses the macros will also need to BR ghc I
guess anyway,
but still it does not seem unreasonable to require ghc in my opinion.
Otherwise looks fine to me.
