#324: Deprecate package-url field ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by duncan): We still have a package url field in the installed package info, however that is actually useful because it could be used to point to the exact package tarball which was used to build the installed package. That'll require a little help in cabal-install to pass the information though, otherwise it will not know. Alternatively hackage could set the field in the .cabal file itself when packages are uploaded. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/324#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
