Package page on Hackage (hacakge-scripts)
by Antoine Latter 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

Hi folks, The per-package overview pages on Hackage have recently received a makeover to match the style of Haddock 2.8. Which code generates these pages? I had though it was the following two modules: http://darcs.haskell.org/hackage-scripts/HackagePage.hs http://darcs.haskell.org/hackage-scripts/PackagePage.hs but those don't seem to include the new CSS and javascript, and neither have a modify date later than the release of Haddock 2.8. Am I looking in the wrong place? Thanks, Antoine

What's the benefit of using a tarball then, if some developers wouldn't be able to reasonably untar it. Duncan proposed to use tarballs with symlinks to structure local build trees, and if one can untar the tarball to get actual symlinks, this sounds great. One could have all kinds of intermediate layouts by putting partly symlinks and partly cabal files into the file system, or the tarball, or both. But I fear that on Windows, this would not work (or at the very least cause great troubles), so this seems to be an unnecessarily introduced platform dependency. Some kind of index file in a text format like Antoine proposes would be much more portable, and nearly as useful. Lars Viklund wrote: > Note that NTFS has supported all kinds of links, sym- and hard-, since > Vista and up, so I guess you're referring to exotic filesystems like > FAT32, or slow-to-adopt environments. I refer to my experience that a symlink created by cygwin only works for cygwin-mediated filesystem access but not for filesystem access through the native Windows API. Therefore, I would not expect to be able to "tar -xzf" a symlink-containing tarball with my cygwin tar, and follow the link in the Windows explorer, say, or the file open dialog of my Windows editor. (I was not aware that NFTS supports symlinks, though. How would I access this feature on a Windows machine?) Tillmann

Since the index tarball is never unpacked on the client's filesystem, only cabal needs to know about it, and it is backwards/forwards compatible. It would be just another Tar.Entry (though LinkTarget doesn't provide any straightforward extraction functions..). <http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/tar/latest/doc/html/Codec-Archi…> But if it does get unpacked by, say, 7zip on Windows -- not an unreasonable thing to do -- we should at least check the behaviors aren't too pathological. -.- Antoine, as far as I can tell, the only reason the leading ./ is there in the first place is because the tarball is created by piping find into tar. ( echo preferred-versions; find . -maxdepth 3 -name '*.cabal' ) \ | tar -c -T - -f - | gzip -9 >$tmp mv $tmp 00-index.tar.gz To answer your question: running tar -tf on hackage-server's index.tar.gz, it doesn't include the ./, and cabal seems to have no problems with it. I think Duncan mentioned that any other files that are worth adding to the index tarball can be simply added for future versions of cabal, since it ignores unknown files... any kind of metadata you want.
