#265: Cabal field stability not useful ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by duncan): Ah, I mean something like the [http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Package_versioning_policy package versioning policy]. It would be useful for packages to opt-in and declare that they follow the versioning policy. It provides similar information to the stability field but it's more precise and more useful. It also gives us the potential to check that packages that following the versioning policy really are doing so. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/265#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
