#635: Display checksum of tarball on Hackage --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: dons | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: hackageDB website | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Distro packaging tools have to, currently, download .tar.gz from Hackage in order to compute the md5 or sha has needed for many package systems. This wastes bandwidth. We could simply compute the hash on the server and store it somewhere. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/635 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
