#288: the package indexes are very slow ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by duncan): * difficulty: hard (< 1 day) => easy (<4 hours) * version: 1.2.3.0 => HEAD Comment: For installed packages index, we should parse the output of `ghc-pkg dump` lazily. See #311. All it needs is to split on `"\n---"` as we do now, but then instead of directly parsing, we should extract only the name and version fields and then parse the rest lazily. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/288#comment:2 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
