#456: `cabal info pkg` command ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) | Ghcversion: 6.8.3 Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ The output for `cabal list` cannot be too verbose or it looses its purpose as a search. For details on an individual package we could use `cabal info foo` instead. This could present the info for the package in greater detail. For example, most of the meta-data from the .cabal file or installed package info. In particular the bug report url (#449) and the location of any installed documentation (#361). Alternatively we could do this in `cabal list` with some flag to get more detailed information. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/456 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
