#779: Create tarball of all Hoogle input files --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: HackageDB Component: hackageDB website | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- For many packages on Hackage there is a corresponding Hoogle input file, for example: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/cmdargs/0.6.5/doc/html/cmdargs.t... To generate Hoogle databases for every package on Hackage I have a script that downloads the documentation for every package, then puts it in a tarball and uploads it back to http://haskell.org/hoogle/hackage- haddock.tar.gz There are three disadvantages to the current process. It's quite a lot of connections to Hackage to download every single file, it takes quite a lot of time to download them individually (about 50 minutes using wget serially), and the tarball on Hoogle is often (always?) out of date. Would it be possible for Hackage to supply a tarball of all the Hoogle input files? -- Neil Mitchell (Hoogle author) -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/779 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
