#804: support remote .cabal files in cabal info ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Currently, `cabal info` supports local .cabal files and remote tarballs, but not remote .cabal files. The [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/lscabal lscabal] program supports remote .cabal file target like: {{{ $ lscabal http://code.haskell.org/xmonad/xmonad.cabal XMonad XMonad.Main }}} Is this useful? Presumably it would also need a more general query language to pull out the fields that the user is interested in. Note that `lscabal` only lists exposed modules and only unconditional ones (e.g. not ones that are platform dependent). -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/804 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
