#570: Include distributions status on package page --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: hackageDB website | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: patch Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Hi, I would find it very helpful if the package pages on hackage would include information as to which packages are available in distributions (Debian, arch, gentoo...). I have implemented a patch that reads this information from a simple formatted text and displays it. I have also implemented the generation of the list for Debian at http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/cabalDebianMap.txt, see README. A cronjob should fetch this regularly (maybe 4 times a day). To add distributions, you need to create the appropriate list (URLs are optional), add the distribution name to DistroMap.hs and put the lists in the right location. It would be great if this could be deployed. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/570 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
