#779: Create tarball of all Hoogle input files --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: HackageDB Component: hackageDB website | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment(by duncan): Replying to [comment:2 guest]:
How would a client avoid the need to download all hoogle input files? How would it figure out which ones have been modified? If there was a query to build a file from a particular date or later that would work, but it seems more effort than just providing everything.
Once you've downloaded each file once and it is cached locally, then checking for updates is realtively cheap using standard HTTP techniques (e.g. last-changed or ETag). -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/779#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
