#409: Support for creating a static package repo ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: mnislaih | 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: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Usual scenario: Bob has a bunch of packages for personal use he does not want or cannot upload to hackage. All he needs is a public_html folder, his packages in tar.gz files, and a bit of help to set up a private static hackage repo. RubyGems allows this with the ''generate_index'' command, see [http://rambleon.org/2008/08/01/creating-your-own-gem-server-redux/ here]. Since cabal-install supports multiple package sources already, the only thing missing is a command to generate the index and directory structure. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/409 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
