[Hackage] #878: Install rsync on hackage.haskell.org

#878: Install rsync on hackage.haskell.org --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: hackageDB website | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) | Ghcversion: Platform: | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- I keep a local copy of the HackageDB, which I construct by downloading archive.tar and 00-index.tar.gz on occasion. This is kind of wasteful of bandwidth for me and the hackage.haskell.org server. My proposed solution is to install rsync on hackage.haskell.org in daemon mode, and configure it to serve the HaskellDB archive (or archive.tar and 00-index.tar.gz). This would allow users to download only the differences between their local copy and the official repository's copy. http://everythinglinux.org/rsync/ contains a sample rsync daemon configuration. It looks relatively straight forward to set up. Also, I would suggest that the front page's "Getting the Raw Data" section should contain a sample rsync command line invocation users can use to differentially mirror the archive. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/878> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

Either the parsing is being done incorrectly or the config file was generated incorrectly.

Control/Monad/Par/Stream.hs:1:1: File name does not match module name: Saw: `Main' Expected: `Control.Monad.Par.Stream' Which really caused me to scratch my head when I saw it ;-).
