[Hackage] #210: Enable access to the x- extension fields, as simple [(String, String)] name-value pairs

#210: Enable access to the x- extension fields, as simple [(String, String)] name-value pairs ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.4 Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- The .cabal file format allows custom fields beginning with "x-". This should be useful for many as yet unthought of extensions, experiments and integration with other systems. However currently the Cabal library api does not provide access to these fields. This should be added, as the subject says as a simple list of [(String, String)] name-value pairs. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/210> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

[Hackage] #237: Support addition of links to Cabal project pages

#237: Support addition of links to Cabal project pages --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: dons | Owner: dons(a)galois.com Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: HackageDB website | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Many libraries have documentation online, other than the hackage information. We need a way to tie all the blog and online tutes to the relevant library. Support a way for authenticated users to add links to tutorials, online docs, RSS feeds and other project specific information. Example: ohloh's code metric site: http://www.ohloh.net/projects/6869?p=xmonad allows adding "Links" by registered users to the project docs, wikis etc. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/237> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

#58: allow darcs repo to be specified in cabal file ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: ijones | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: Cabal-1.4 Component: Cabal library | Version: Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.2.1 | Platform: Linux ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by duncan): Isn't it vital to know what kind of repo we're dealing with, otherwise how do we know automatically which tool to use? For example if it's darcs (or another supported scm) then we can make darcs-graph activity graphs and other fun things. That's not possible if one has to somehow inspect the content at the other end of the url to guess what kind of repo it is. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/58#comment:6> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
