Patch to read package-specific cabal-install config
by Carl Baatz 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

Hi all, for packages that aren't for public consumption, we would like to specify a private Hackage repo location. The simplest way we could think of to do this was to read a config file in the same format as the user config (~/.cabal/config) from the current directory and let any flags set in that file override the user config. The attached patch implements this, reading any file with a .cabal-install extension (including '.cabal-install'). It errors out if more than one .cabal-install file is found or if there's a parse error on the .cabal-install file. Does this sound like a good idea? If not, any ideas for alternative ways of handling non-public packages? Many thanks, Carl

Massive spamming of hackage Trac

Hi all, There seems to have been a mass spamming of the Hackage trac, eg: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/564#comment:9 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/487#comment:3 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/553#comment:3 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/491#comment:4 Seems to be 400+ of them. Users ids involved include elga and edouard. Would be nice to get this cleaned up.

[Hackage] #667: Improve tools to manage ad-hoc package releases

#667: Improve tools to manage ad-hoc package releases ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: miscellaneous | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: project(> week) | Ghcversion: Platform: | ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Hackage is suited for major software releases by package maintainers. It is not suited to distributing betas, daily snapshots or random forks, or patches of existing releases. For example a user may have some patch or bugfix for a package that they need. It takes time for maintainers to review and integrate these. Sometimes maintainers have little time, or they disagree with a patch approach or quality. It is right that maintainers have control over what is released on hackage. However there is a need for decentralised, ad-hoc and short term releases. We do not want to encourage the pollution of the package namespace with lots of short-term forks. One solution is to let users post package forks on their own webspace. We would want to extend cabal so that people can run: {{{ cabal install http://code.haskell.org/~user/foo/foo-fork-to-fix- blah-1.0.1.tar.gz }}} This makes it very decentralised. We may want to add some feature to hackage package pages to link to third-party forks. In addition to hosting and installing single packages it would be useful to be able to publish package collections. Of course this is exactly what a hackage archive is. We should provide easy tools to make and manage hackage archives that can be hosted on dumb http file servers. Going one step further, the hackage index format should be extended to make it more RESTful by including links to tarballs rather than just assuming that tarballs are found relative to the index file using some fixed layout. This would allow people to publish indexes that span multiple servers. This gets close to the concept of a package "search path" promoted by the searchpath project (http://searchpath.org/) Additonally, an index should allow us to point to source control repos rather than just to release tarballs. This kind of index would be useful for nighly builds. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/667> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
