#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 | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) Ghcversion: 6.8.3 | Platform: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by mnislaih): I bit the bullet and hacked cabal-install to support this. I extended cabal with a ''server'' command which expects to find the tar.gz files corresponding to packages in the current directory and will create the index file as well as the dir structure. As cabal-install now by default uses the new hackage server directory structure and not the one described in [HackageDB], my patch tries hard to produce the former structure, so to avoid the need to patch the clients too. A patch is attached. Although it is not very smart and will only work in Unix systems, it still could be useful to someone. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/409#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
