#449: cabal-install should list bug reporting url for packages ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: Peaker | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.3 | Platform: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by duncan): * summary: Report bugs via cabal-install => cabal-install should list bug reporting url for packages Comment: I very much doubt that we'll ever be able to construct a standard API for reporting bugs. However packages can and should specify a `bug-reports: $url` field in their .cabal files. This should be either an email address or a http url to an online bug tracker. We should make `cabal list` display the bug report url if any was given. Perhaps we should split the `cabal list` command into `cabal list` and `cabal info` to give more detailed info on a specific package. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/449#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
