There are at two problems with the Cabal webpage on haskell.org: 1. The release directories are no longer browseable, as attempting to list their contents fails with 403 errors. Being able to browse these directories was probably the only way to locate binary downloads for releases older than the one linked from the download page, which is currently 1.22.0.0. https://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/cabal-install-1.22.0.0/ https://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/cabal-install-1.20.0.3/ https://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/ 2. 1.22.0.0 is still listed as the latest version on the download page, even though 1.22.1.0 and 1.22.1.1 were released 3 weeks ago. https://www.haskell.org/cabal/download.html https://github.com/haskell/cabal/releases How can I help get this fixed? -- Miëtek

Mitek: Go ahead and send on a public ssh key to admin@ and we'll get
you access to that portion of the site.
In terms of further contributions / places to start, Johan mentioned
he would in particular appreciate help in automating this process:

Sound good?

Hi,

Mitek: Go ahead and send on a public ssh key to admin@ and we'll get you access to that portion of the site.
A better idea is to upload the website's source files to GitHub and let people send us pull requests there. I can do that if someone gives me ssh access.

I’ve re-enabled the directory listings for https://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/ (admins, note: I just changed the nginx.conf directly, we need to backport all our changes into the full deploy scripts…) —Gershom On March 15, 2015 at 3:18:52 AM, Miëtek Bak (mietek@bak.io) wrote:

1.22.2.0 has been updated on the downloads page. The issue still
remains the the '-latest' symlinks have not been updated.

Thanks, Gershom, Ryan.
I made a mistake in my earlier email saying “1.22.1.0 and 1.22.1.1”, where I meant “1.22.0.1”.
It looks like the following cabal-install releases are missing from the cabal/releases directory:
- 1.22.0.1
- 1.18.0.5
- 1.18.0
- 1.16.0.2
- 1.16.0.1
- 1.16.0
Additionally, it would be great to have https://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/ CDN-ified as https://downloads.haskell.org/~cabal/, just like https://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/ is CDN-ified as https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/.
